Assess support around leaking chimney and wall joins
A recurring leak beside a Hamilton chimney or extension can wet boards underneath without an obvious change on the outside. Sarking is timber boarding beneath the covering. We assess accessible moisture damage and explain whether lifting slate or tile is needed to inspect the support around the faulty join.
Local work may replace damaged boards or repair limited accessible timber, then restore the weatherproof layers and covering. The extent is based on what is found, not the size of the indoor stain alone. If the damage raises structural questions, those need appropriate specialist assessment before a wider timber alteration is treated as a standard roofing repair.
Keep opening and extra findings clear in the quote
Include the postcode, leak history and safe photographs of visible internal timber. Show any extension below the affected slope. The proposal lists access, opening, expected support repairs and putting the roof covering back. It explains how newly exposed damage is recorded and discussed so you know which work was planned and which could not be confirmed beforehand.
- Inspect support near the identified water-entry detail.
- List the layers lifted and restored for local repairs.
- Refer wider structural concerns for suitable specialist assessment.

Sarking & Roof Timber Repairs Questions in Hamilton
Can a small ceiling stain hide wider timber damage?+
It can, but extent must be inspected rather than assumed. Water may travel along boards before appearing inside.
Will flashing repair replace rotten boards automatically?+
Only if included or agreed after opening. The condition and necessary timber work should be explained separately.
Should I remove insulation to photograph the timber?+
Do not disturb materials or enter an unsafe loft for photographs. Share only what is safely visible.
