One assessment across likely water routes
Compare possible sources
We check roof coverings, flat details and gutters where symptoms overlap.
Keep repair work focused
Our findings direct the quotation towards the relevant defect and affected area.
Test cleared drainage
We confirm accessible gutters can move water after debris has been removed.
Work out which surface is letting water through
Water near a roof edge can come from a pitched covering, a flat-roof detail or a gutter spilling back onto the building. At properties in Cricklewood, we inspect the relevant systems together so the repair follows the evidence. Slipped tiles, split membranes and blocked outlets can produce similar indoor signs despite needing very different work. We check where the water appears, how it behaves in rain and what defects are visible, then explain the most likely source and repair scope.
Repair the defect, not an unrelated section
A targeted pitched-roof repair may involve coverings, fixings or flashing. On a flat roof, the fault could sit at a seam, edge, outlet or penetration, with the deck checked for wider damage. For work in Cricklewood, we can also clear gutter debris and test accessible water flow where overflow is part of the problem. This joined-up view helps avoid paying for roof work when blocked drainage is the culprit, or cleaning a gutter when the waterproof surface has failed.
Frequently asked questions
Can an overflowing gutter look like a roof leak?
Yes. Water can run onto fascias, walls or roof edges and appear inside nearby. We check the gutter and adjoining covering where the signs overlap, helping separate a drainage blockage from a waterproofing defect.
Can you repair pitched and flat roof sections?
Yes. We work on both types, using materials and methods suited to the existing system. We inspect the fault first because a tiled slope, membrane seam and fibreglass edge each require a different repair approach.
How do you decide between repair and replacement?
We consider how local the fault is, the condition around it and any damage below the surface. A sound roof with one defect may suit repair. Widespread deterioration can make resurfacing or replacement the more practical choice.
