Today an investigation into water ingress 🔍
Removed sections of roof tiles to investigate a customer's water ingress problem and found that the felt had badly deteriorated and dropped down across all the dormer windows.
Unfortunately, this isn't a simple repair. I've advised the customer that the roof will need stripping, re-felting and battening then replace the exising tiles.
I've recommended a roofing contractor to carry out the necessary work at a later date.
In the meantime, I've replaced the tiles to leave the roof secure until the repairs can be completed.
It's always important to find the root cause of a problem and give customers honest advice on the best way forward.
