Roofing Leaks, Ceiling & Damp — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof is leaking or it’s just condensation?
Leak indicators include brown ceiling stains, damp patches that grow after rain, bubbling paint, and musty odours in roof voids. Condensation is more common after cold nights and improves with ventilation; leaks worsen with rainfall. We inspect to confirm the source before repair.
Do you offer emergency leak call-outs?
Yes. We prioritise active leaks and can install temporary weatherproofing (flashings, tarp, or sealants) before completing a permanent repair once the area is dry and safe.
What are the most common causes of ceiling stains and sagging boards?
Typical causes are cracked tiles or sheets, failed flashings around chimneys or parapets, blocked or rusted box gutters, and failed waterproofing on flat roofs. Prolonged moisture can make ceilings sag—these should be replaced once the leak is fixed.
Can you fix the ceiling and repaint after repairing the leak?
Absolutely. We handle the full remediation: leak repair, damp drying, ceiling board replacement if needed, stain-blocking primer, and repainting to a uniform finish.
How do you treat rising or lateral damp in walls?
We identify the moisture path, then apply the correct system: chemical DPC injection or membrane reinstatement for rising damp; breathable barrier coatings and detailing for lateral damp. Preparation and drying times are essential for long-term success.
Will mould return after you repair the leak?
Once the moisture source is eliminated and the substrate is dried properly, we apply an anti-fungal wash and stain-blocker before repainting. With correct ventilation and no new moisture ingress, mould should not return.
Do your leak and damp repairs carry a guarantee?
Yes. Leak and waterproofing repairs come with a written workmanship guarantee, and many systems include manufacturer-backed warranties. We’ll specify the term on your quote (commonly 3–10 years depending on system).
Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We supply photos, damage reports, and a detailed quote to support your claim, and can coordinate with your assessor if required.
How quickly can you complete a typical leak repair?
Minor flashings and tile repairs are often completed in a single visit (weather-dependent). Flat-roof waterproofing or ceiling replacements usually take 1–3 days, plus drying and paint time.
