Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Roof Repairs
Most roof problems announce themselves indoors before they are visible outside — a damp patch, a tide-mark on a ceiling, or a sudden draught in the loft. Here is how to tell a genuine repair from a job that has run past repairing. On St Cross properties, st Cross is a highly protected conservation area with a dense concentration of listed period property needing specialist, consent-controlled work.
A damp patch or brown tide-mark on an upstairs ceiling after rain
A slipped, cracked or missing tile visible from the ground
Granules from the tile surface collecting in the gutter
Daylight visible through the roof in the loft
Mortar debris from the ridge or verge on the ground after wind
When it is not the answer: If more than a third of the covering has failed or tiles lift by hand across whole elevations (nail sickness), repairing tile-by-tile is money wasted — the roof is telling you it needs relaying, not patching. Read the full guide.
