How Do Small Roof Issues Become Expensive Problems?

Small defects—missing tiles, blocked gutters, worn flashing—open the door to long-term damage. Rainwater finds its way in, underfelt breaks down, and timber weakens. By the time the evidence appears indoors, repairs routinely cost five times more than an early fix and can even compromise your insurance validity.

  • Timber rot triggered by slow leaks may require major structural repairs.:

What causes roof leaks after heavy rain?

Property owners often wonder about Roof Repairs & Maintenance in London, Sussex, Surrey & Kent—from costs and timescales to permissions. Below, you’ll find straightforward, trustworthy answers to the most frequent and practical queries.

  • Visual surveys: spot obvious damage: slipped tiles, cracked flashings, or blistered membranes.
  • Moisture metres: detect damp within timbers or ceilings before stains appear.
  • Borescopes: (small cameras inserted through holes) reveal hidden leaks in flat roofs or cavity walls.

Heavy rain is one of the most frequent triggers for roof leaks in London, Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, exposing weak spots that often go unnoticed during dry weather.
