  1. Faulty Roof Installations:

    • Issue: Leaks or draughts following a new roof installation.
    • Cause: Improper fixing of tiles or incorrect tile placement.
    • Homeowner Solution: Always choose a reputable roofing company for installation. If issues arise, call the company back for inspection.
    • Roofer Solution: Ensure up-to-date training for your team. Be attentive and responsive to customer concerns.
  2. Moisture & Water Damage:

    • Symptom: Damp patches on attic walls or actual water drips.
    • Cause: Poor drainage or roof-related issues.
    • Prevention: Regular roof maintenance and cleaning.
    • Solution: Call a local roofer promptly if you suspect roof damage.
  3. Hail Damage:

    • Cause: Hailstorms damaging tiles or roof covering.
    • Solution: Replace worn or cracked tiles promptly to prevent water ingress and sun damage.
  4. Bad Chimney Flashing:

    • Issue: Poorly implemented chimney flashing.
    • Risk: Wear on mortar, tiles, and water ingress.
    • Solution: Seek chimney repairs from a specialist to protect your property.
  5. Gutter Problems:

    • Importance: Proper gutters divert rainwater away from the property.
    • Issues: Misaligned, blocked, or missing gutters.
    • Solution: Ensure proper alignment and regular cleaning of gutters.

Remember, addressing these problems promptly can prevent extensive damage and costly repairs. If in doubt, consult a professional roofer to assess and resolve any roofing issues🏠🔨
