A leak in the roof needs to be fixed right away. When water seeps into your property, it quickly damages everything in its path, including ceilings, wood, and insulation. The knock-on is more costly the longer it's left.
We provide roof leak repairs for
all types of roofs in Swindon and the surrounding region, including felt, pitched, flat, tiled, and slated roofs. Instead of using a temporary patch that fails again six months later, we
accurately identify the source and address it. If you have a leak, we will respond to you promptly and fix it.
Nearly 4 in 5 customers who came to us with a leaking roof needed a repair, not a full replacement, saving them thousands at what is already a stressful time.
Common Causes of Roof Leaks in Swindon
Failed or Damaged Flashing
One of the most common causes of leaks is flashing around chimneys, skylights, roof edges, and where a roof meets a wall. Water enters directly when lead lifts, cracks, or the mortar pointing fails. When necessary, we fix and replace flashing.
Deteriorating Felt Underlay
A supplementary barrier is provided by the felt underneath your tiles. Water that gets past the tiles has nothing to stop it because as it ages, it becomes brittle and can fracture. We locate underlying issues and complete the required repairs.
Blocked or Overflowing Guttering
Inadequate gutters direct water back toward the fascia and roofline, where it finally finds a way in. When necessary, we eliminate obstructions and fix gutters as part of a leak investigation.
Skylight and Roof Window Leaks
Over time, the seals surrounding roof windows deteriorate. Where the roof junction has failed, we repair and reseal the area around skylights and Velux-style windows.
Broken, Slipped, or Missing Tiles
A displaced or cracked tile leaves the roof deck exposed. What looks like minor surface damage can result in significant water ingress during heavy rain. We replace or re-fix tiles and slates to restore the weatherproof layer.
Failed Ridge or Hip Mortar
When the mortar bedding ridge and hip tiles breaks down, water works its way in along the length of the ridge. It's a common source of leaks that's often overlooked until the damage is already done.
Flat Roof Failures
Water can enter a roof directly through blistered, cracked, or rising flat surfaces. To stop leaks at their source, we fix flat roofs made of felt, EPDM, and GRP.
How We Handle Roof Leak Repairs in Swindon
Leak Investigation
The most crucial aspect of the work is determining the true source of a leak. Water doesn't always enter the roof from where it appears on your ceiling since it travels. Before beginning any repair work, we conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify the source.
Clear Diagnosis and Quote
We'll go into detail about what we discovered and what needs to be done to fully address it. There won't be any ambiguous numbers or unstated costs in the estimate you receive.
The Repair
We handle the majority of leak repairs in a single visit by working on all types of roofs and transporting materials on the van. We'll schedule a return as soon as access equipment or specialised goods are needed.
Check and Sign Off
We make sure the repair is waterproof and clean up the area before departing. If we find anything else on the roof that has to be fixed before it turns into another leak, we'll let you know.
