Storm Austen has blown through, so now’s the time to give your roof a once-over.
You don’t need to go up a ladder to spot the warning signs.
Outside, from the ground: look for missing, cracked or slipped tiles, loose or misaligned ridge tiles, lead flashing that’s lifted around chimneys or valleys, and gutters that are sagging, overflowing or pulled away from the wall.
Inside: switch the loft light off during the day and look for daylight coming through. Check for wet insulation, damp timbers, and new stains or bubbling paint on top-floor ceilings. Water can run along the rafters, so the leak isn’t always right above the stain.
Please don’t get up on the roof in the wind. If you’ve spotted anything, give us a call and we’ll come out and take a look.
