Repairs and leaks

Slipped slates, drips, cracked ridges

From
How long
Most repairs take half a day

Water travels: a stain on the ceiling is rarely under the hole. We start in the loft with a torch, follow the water back to where it gets in, and fix the cause, not the stain. Most repairs are a slipped slate, a cracked one or a ridge that has lost its mortar.

Questions

Can you come for a leak today?

In the area, a roofer is with you within four hours, with a temporary cover the same day.

Will you use sealant?

Only as a temporary fix in a storm. A proper repair is a new slate, properly fixed.
