1/3Takes under a minute. A qualified surveyor attends — never a salesperson.
No obligation, no sales visit. Your details are used only to arrange the survey.
When damp appears in a first-floor ceiling, at the top of a chimney breast, or in a corner under a parapet, the cause is above head height. We investigate the roofline as part of the survey rather than treating the internal symptom and hoping.
We carry out the roofing work that stops ingress — flashings, valleys, verges, tiles, chimney repointing and flaunching — and we tell you plainly when a roof needs a re-cover rather than another patch.
From first reading to registered guarantee
The same five stages on every job, whether it is one wall or a whole property.
- 01
Roofline inspection
Coverings, flashings, valleys, verges, ridges, chimneys and rainwater goods examined with photographic record.
- 02
Correlate with inside
External defects matched to internal readings so the actual entry point is confirmed.
- 03
Access
Tower, scaffold or ladder access arranged appropriately and safely for the work.
- 04
Repair
Lead flashings renewed, tiles and slates replaced, mortar work rebuilt, chimneys repointed and flaunched.
- 05
Internal reinstatement
Ceilings and walls dried and made good once ingress is proven stopped.

Roofing and Chimneys — answered
High-level damp usually is, but condensation in a cold loft produces very similar staining. We check both before specifying scaffold and roof work.
We carry out repairs and localised re-covering. Where a full replacement is genuinely needed we will say so rather than sell repeated patching.
Once ingress has stopped, the structure needs to dry before replastering — usually a few weeks, faster with controlled drying equipment.
