Understanding Common Causes of Roof Leaks: Our Expert Diagnosis

A leaky roof often signals an underlying issue that needs immediate attention. Pinpointing the exact source of water ingress requires a keen eye and years of experience, which our team possesses. Common culprits we often find when inspecting roofs in towns like Peterborough, Boston, or Stamford include:

  • Slipped or Cracked Tiles/Slates: Storms, high winds, or simply age can dislodge or damage individual roofing materials, creating direct entry points for water.
  • Failing Flashing: This is the waterproof material (often lead, but can be other metals or synthetic products) that seals joints around chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall intersections. If it’s cracked, lifted, or corroded, water will find its way in. We are skilled in all aspects of leadwork, including bossing and welding, to ensure a watertight seal.
  • Blocked or Damaged Gutters: While not directly part of the roof covering, overflowing gutters can cause water to back up under the eaves or behind fascias, leading to dampness and leaks within the roof structure.
  • Degraded Flat Roof Surfaces: Flat roofs, common on extensions, garages, and commercial buildings, can develop splits, blisters, or tears in their felt, EPDM rubber, or GRP fibreglass membranes over time.
  • Chimney Problems: Deteriorating mortar joints (repointing), damaged chimney pots, or failing lead soakers around the chimney stack are frequent sources of leaks, allowing water to trickle down into your home.
  • General Wear and Tear: Over time, exposure to harsh UK weather, from heavy rain to frost and strong winds, takes its toll on any roof, leading to material fatigue and eventual leaks.
    Our first step is always a thorough inspection to accurately diagnose the problem, saving you time and money by getting to the root of the leak.

  1. Initial Contact & Emergency Response: We understand that a leaking roof can be an emergency. When you call us, we'll discuss your situation and arrange a convenient time for an inspection. For urgent situations, particularly those caused by storm damage across areas like Grantham or Bourne, we aim to provide a rapid make-safe service to prevent further water ingress.
  2. Thorough Roof Inspection: Our certified professionals will meticulously inspect your entire roof, not just the obvious leak spot. Using our experience, and sometimes drone roof surveys for hard-to-reach areas, we’ll pinpoint the exact cause and assess any related damage.

  4. Expert Repair Work: Once approved, our skilled team will carry out the repairs using high-quality materials and proven techniques. Whether it’s replacing a few broken plain tiles in a traditional Spalding property or applying a specialist liquid membrane to a modern flat roof in Peterborough, we work diligently and efficiently.

Comprehensive Leak Solutions for Every Roof Type

No matter the style or age of your property, Foster and Son Roofing Services has the expertise to repair your roof leak effectively. We work with all common roofing materials and systems found across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Rutland:

  • Pitched Roof Repairs: From replacing a single slipped slate on a heritage property in Stamford to re-bedding concrete ridge tiles or fixing a missing pantile on a semi-detached home in Market Deeping, we handle all pitched roof repairs. We’re adept at working with various tile profiles (e.g., Rosemary, plain tile, interlocking) and natural slates.
  • Flat Roof Repairs: Whether it’s a garage roof in King's Lynn, an extension in Wisbech, or a porch in Bourne, we repair felt roofing systems (including modern high-performance torch-on felt), EPDM rubber roofs (like Firestone RubberCover), and GRP fibreglass roofs (such as Cure It GRP). We address issues like blistering, ponding water, splits, and seam failures.
  • Leadwork Repairs: Our skilled roofers are specialists in traditional leadwork, essential for durable flashings, valleys, and bespoke roof features. We repair and replace damaged lead around chimneys, dormer windows, and in roof valleys.
  • Guttering, Fascias, and Soffits: We often find that damaged or blocked gutters and deteriorating fascias and soffits are the root cause of dampness and leaks into the property. We offer full repair and replacement services for both timber and uPVC roofline products.
  • Chimney Repairs: Chimneys are a frequent source of leaks. Our services include re-pointing crumbling mortar, replacing spalling bricks, re-bedding chimney pots, and renewing lead flashings around the base of the stack to ensure it’s fully watertight.
    Whatever the issue, our team provides tailored solutions designed to restore your roof's integrity and protect your home.

What are the common signs of a roof leak?

The most obvious sign is a damp patch or water dripping from your ceiling. But you should also look out for damp or discoloured patches on upstairs walls, mould or mildew spots, or a musty smell in your loft. Sometimes the first sign is outside, like a slipped tile you can see from the ground or dripping gutters.

How much does it cost to repair a leaking roof?

The cost depends entirely on the cause and extent of the problem. Replacing a single broken tile will be a relatively small job, whereas repairing a failed flat roof or fixing a chimney issue will be more involved. Our team will always provide a clear, free, no-obligation quote after assessing the roof so you know exactly what the job involves before any work is done.

Can you fix my leaking roof today?

Our goal is to provide an emergency "make-safe" service as quickly as possible. This means getting to you, identifying the problem, and putting a temporary solution in place to stop the water getting in and prevent further damage. We will then arrange to come back and carry out the permanent, guaranteed repair.

Is a small drip from the ceiling a big problem?

Yes. Any water getting into your home is a problem. That small drip is just the water that has made it all the way through your roof structure, insulation, and plasterboard. There could be much more moisture trapped in the roof space, leading to rot in the timbers and costly damage. It's always best to get it looked at straight away.

Will my home insurance cover the cost of a leaking roof repair?

Most home insurance policies will cover damage caused by a sudden event, like a storm. They are less likely to cover damage that has occurred over time due to a lack of maintenance. We can provide a full report and quotation to help you with your insurance claim. We recommend you contact your insurance company to check your policy details.
