Winter is on its way - make sure your tiled roof is ready

Unfortunately, we often don't realise that we have a roof leak until the water starts seeping through the ceiling. The best time to prepare for winter is before winter well and truly arrives!

Roof tiles are a first line of defence against rain, wind, and all the elements Mother Nature throws at your home. Over time, tiles can become cracked, loose, or even damaged without you noticing and a faulty roof can quickly turn your cosy sanctuary into a leaky disaster zone.

Getting your roof checked ensures that any small problems are fixed promptly, preventing water damage, mould growth, and the dreaded damp smell that refuses to budge.

Common causes of roof leaks include:

  • Broken roof tiles
  • Loose roof tiles  
  • Cracked or broken pointing & ridge capping

It only takes a powerful gust of wind to send loose or broken roof tiles flying, so a simple inspection by a professional can catch these issues early on and save you from potential headaches later.
