It can be hard to notice that your property needs roof repairs because we don’t check them every day and damage may not be clearly visible. With so many things to do around the house or a business to run at your premises, it’s easy to make your roof’s condition your last priority – but doing so can lead to an array of issues.
It's important to look out for fault signs in roofing systems so you can receive the services to return them to top condition.
Our roofing contractors specialise in leadwork, flat roofs and new roof installation in Reading and the surrounding areas we cover. You can also contact us for work on EPDM rubber roofing, fibreglass shingles, gutter lining and leak detection and repair.
Our local roofers have rounded up some of the signs that your roof needs repairs. Should you notice these issues, a professional roofing contractor like S & S Roofing can carry out a thorough inspection of the structure and complete the necessary work. The signs to look out for include:
If you notice stains on your ceilings and walls, there is probably a leak coming through your roof. While pinpointing leaks can be challenging, we provide a leak detection service to speed up the process and our team is very experienced in carrying out repairs. Whether or not the leak is bothering you, seeking repairs sooner rather than later will save you money on more extensive services as damage worsens, and will return your roof back to optimum condition so your property is kept free of mould, rot and other water-related damage.
It probably goes without saying, but if you find water inside your property, then you should have our team inspect your roof right away so we can detect leaks, carry out patch repairs, replace missing tiles, or bring the roofline products up to standard. This also applies if you can hear dripping sounds or notice your flat surfaces bubbling, as they are some of the lesser-known signs that water is leaking through your roof.
The most common causes are dislodged tiles, faulty chimney flashing or poor installation in the past. But we can rectify any of these issues with our professional roofing contractor services, which are available across Reading.

If you notice mould on your outside walls, or the doors and windows, it’s likely due to faulty lead flashing. It is critical that flashing is installed where the edge of the roof meets the outside wall, or water ingress can occur and seep behind the window and door frames, causing them to rot.
Keeping an eye out for mould means that you can get in contact with a professional roofing contractor before the damage is severe.
