Find the wet boards beneath the affected covering
Sarking means timber boards beneath the roof covering. On a Motherwell home with older slate and a later addition, the boards and supporting timbers may differ between sections. We assess accessible damage and explain what needs opening to establish how far the wet or weakened material extends.
Replacing a damaged board without dealing with water entry can leave the same problem developing again. The agreed work links suitable timber or boarding repair to the covering and join above it. Sound material can stay where practical. Major structural concerns are identified for appropriate specialist advice rather than assumed to be ordinary local roof timber work.
Agree what is opened and put back
Send your postcode, safe indoor views of damp timber and a photograph of the roof section outside. Mention previous leaks and additions. The quote describes the initial opening, expected boarding or limited timber repair and how the covering will be put back. Damage concealed beyond that area is reported before further work is agreed.
- Identify the affected roof section and source of moisture.
- Explain accessible support repairs separately from major structural work.
- Include lifting and refitting the covering above repaired boards.

What Your Sarking & Roof Timber Repairs Quote Covers
Sarking is timber boarding beneath the roof covering, common on Scottish roofs. Limited damaged boards and other accessible non-structural timber can be replaced as part of roofing work. Significant movement, widespread decay or changes to structural supports may need a structural engineer.
- Tracing the water source before timber repair
- Opening the agreed roof area carefully
- Checking exposed roof boards, tile-fixing strips and supporting timbers
- Replacing limited damaged timber to the agreed work
- Putting back the protective layer, timber fixing strips and roof covering
Height, access, materials and the amount of damage affect the price. If more damage is found underneath, any extra work and cost will be discussed before it is agreed.
