Common Causes of a Leaking Roof

A leaking roof can be a real pain to get sorted. And down the years, we’ve found that the most common time for leaks to occur is during extremes in weather conditions when weaknesses in roofs are exposed.

For instance, you can be sure that we’ll receive lots of calls after heavy rain follows a bout of hot weather. Or, throughout a period of snow and freezing weather. It’s those repeated cycles of hot and cold conditions that expose little cracks and misplaced slates or cause condensation issues.

Here’s a list of common causes of a leaking roof:

• Damaged or badly installed flashing
• Broken or missing roof tiles and slates
• Condensation in the attic space
• Damaged chimney brick or mortar
• Broken or blocked roof vents
• Overhanging trees of foliage
• Badly sealed roof valley
