Leaks where an extension meets the house
For a Halton house with a single-storey addition, the extension roof can be difficult to see without suitable access. A leak close to the wall may involve flashing, a rooflight upstand or the covering’s perimeter. Tell us where the damp appears in relation to the original house and the outside roof edge.
Finding the cause
The inspection should consider the height and condition of the upstand as well as seams and outlets. Ask whether the deck below the covering is sound. Renewing only the top layer over a wet or weak substrate can leave important work unresolved.
Planning your roofing work
Mention rooflights, fragile conservatory roofs and the route through the garden. Do not walk onto the extension to take pictures or clear an outlet.
What belongs in your quote
A clear quote sets out the materials, access and waste removal, as well as the repair itself. It should also explain what happens if opening the roof reveals further damage, so you know how any extra work will be agreed.
