Leaking Roof Repairs
That Find the Real Source
Leaking roof repairs that find where water is really getting in and fix it properly. We trace leaks through tiles, ridges, valleys, flashing, and gutters, repair the cause, and check the surrounding roof so it does not happen again. Our owner is on site for every job, and every quote is fixed and in writing.

What Causes a Leaking Roof?
Most roof leaks come from a handful of common problems:
- Cracked or slipped tiles: Letting rain through to the sarking and battens.
- Failed ridge pointing: Allowing water in along the top of the roof.
- Rusted or blocked valleys: Sending water under the tiles.
- Lifted or cracked flashing: Around chimneys, walls, and vents.
- Blocked gutters: Overflowing back under the roof edge.
- Penetrations: Skylights, flues, and aerials with failed seals.
Signs Your Roof Is Leaking
Leaks are not always obvious. Watch for:
- Ceiling stains: Brown or yellow patches that grow after rain.
- Peeling paint: On ceilings or near cornices.
- Musty smells: From damp insulation or timber.
- Dripping sounds: In the roof space during rain.
- Mould: On ceilings or in wardrobes on external walls.
How We Trace a Roof Leak
Water often runs along battens or sarking before it drips, so the stain is rarely directly below the leak. We trace it by:
- Checking the roof space: Following water marks back to their source.
- Inspecting the roof above: Tiles, ridges, valleys, and flashing.
- Water testing: Running water over suspect areas where needed.
Fixing the Leak Properly
Once we find the cause, we fix it properly rather than smearing sealant over the problem. That might mean replacing tiles, rebedding ridges, replacing a valley, or refitting flashing.
We also check nearby areas, as a leak often shows that the roof around it needs attention too.
Why Roof Leaks Should Be Fixed Quickly
Even a small leak can cause serious damage over time:
- Rotting timber: In battens, rafters, and ceiling joists.
- Wet insulation: Which stops working and can grow mould.
- Collapsed ceilings: When plasterboard soaks through.
- Electrical hazards: When water reaches wiring or light fittings.
Leaking Roof Repair Cost
