Where the water gets in
A ceiling stain is where the water ends up, not where it starts. On a Halifax roof, wind-driven rain can creep under a lifted slate, run down a batten and drop onto a ceiling a metre or two away. We look at the slates, flashings, valleys and ridge above and around the damp before recommending a fix.
Signs you need a roofer
- Damp patches or tide marks on ceilings
- Slate or tile pieces on the ground
- Wet timbers or insulation in the loft
- Daylight showing through the roof
- Gaps in the ridge mortar

A straight answer
You'll hear whether it's a repair, a bigger job or nothing to worry about yet, with the reasons, before you decide anything.
A tidy finish

Questions about roof repairs
Can one slipped slate be fixed on its own?
Yes. A sound slate that has slipped because its nail has rusted can be refixed with a slate hook or tingle. Broken ones are replaced with a matching slate.
Why does my roof only leak when it's windy?
Wind drives rain under lifted slates, into open verges and behind loose flashings that stay dry in calm rain. Knowing the wind direction when it leaks helps find the spot.
Will I need scaffolding for a repair?
Not always. Some repairs can be reached with ladders and a roof ladder. Taller terraces or awkward access on steep streets may need a tower or scaffold, and the quote will say so.
Do you repair stone slate roofs?
Yes, we repair older stone slate roofs as well as Welsh slate and tiled roofs, matching materials as closely as we can.
