Local roofing issues

Common Roof Problemsin Forest of Dean

Trees and leaf fall

Homes close to woodland collect leaves and debris in gutters and valleys, causing overflows and damp walls. Overhanging branches can also damage tiles in storms.

Moss and damp

Sheltered, shaded roofs stay damp for longer, encouraging moss that lifts tiles and holds water.

Older stone cottages and terraces

Traditional stone properties often have aged roofs, chimneys and flashings that need careful repair.

Rural access

Narrow lanes and hillside plots can make access more complicated. We'll plan this during the survey so it's included in your fixed price.

Warning signs

Signs Your RoofNeeds Attention

Most roof problems in Forest of Dean give you a warning before they become expensive. If you spot any of these, book a free survey sooner rather than later.

  • Damp patches or staining on ceilings, especially upstairs or below chimneys.
  • Daylight or drips visible in the loft after rain.
  • Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, or pieces in the garden or gutters.
  • Crumbling mortar on ridges, verges or chimney stacks.
  • Lead flashings that look lifted, split or creased.
  • Gutters overflowing in heavy rain, or green staining on walls below them.
  • Blistered, split or ponding flat roofs on garages and extensions.
  • Flaking, soft or rotten timber fascias and soffits.
Roof care

Looking After YourForest of Dean Roof

After storms: take a look from the ground for missing tiles, slipped ridges or lifted lead. Small storm damage is quick to fix but quickly gets worse if wind can get underneath.

In autumn: leaves and moss block gutters and valleys. Clear gutters let rainwater drain away instead of soaking your walls.

Through winter: frost gets into cracked mortar and porous tiles. Keep an eye on ceilings and the loft after cold, wet spells.

Before you sell or extend: a sound roof protects your investment. If you're planning work on your Forest of Dean home, it's worth having the roof checked at the same time.

Don't climb onto the roof yourself; working at height is dangerous. If something doesn't look right, call us for a free survey.
