Roof leak detection FAQs
Roof Leak Detection & Repairs Questions and Answers
These answers explain common questions before you request a quote.
Can you see a roofing problem?● Send us a photo
Why is the ceiling mark away from the roof fault?+
Water can travel along underlay, sarking, rafters and other timbers before it reaches the ceiling below.
Can a photograph locate a roof leak?+
A photograph can highlight visible damage, but it cannot show hidden layers or confirm the full route taken by water.
Why has an earlier leak repair failed?+
The original entry point may have been missed, the surrounding roof may have deteriorated, or more than one problem may be present.
Do you inspect inside the loft?+
Accessible loft areas can provide useful information such as staining or wet timbers. Safe access and the property layout determine what can be checked.
