5 Common Roof Repair Issues & How to Spot Them Early

6

Catching roofing issues early can save you hundreds in repairs and prevent more serious damage. Here are five common problems to watch out for – and how to spot the warning signs.

1. Slipped or Missing Tiles
If you notice tiles on the ground or gaps in your roofline, get them replaced quickly to avoid water getting in.

2. Leaks and Water Stains
Dark patches on your ceiling or mould on the walls? These could be signs of an active leak.

3. Blocked or Damaged Gutters
Overflowing or broken gutters can cause damp, rot, and foundation damage. Check them regularly, especially in autumn.

4. Moss and Algae Growth
A green, mossy roof may look quaint but can trap moisture, causing tiles to crack or lift.

5. Damaged Flashing
Loose flashing around chimneys or roof edges can let in rain and cause long-term issues.
