Why Early Detection Matters
In the North East, we get our fair share of rain, wind, and
wintry weather. That means your roof takes a real beating
year-round. Left unchecked, even a small crack or loose ridge
tile can lead to leaks, insulation issues, and structural
damage. And let’s be honest—no one wants to deal with
soggy ceilings or mould.
At Windsor Roofing, we believe that being proactive saves
money, stress, and time. That’s why we offer honest advice,
fast quotes, and guaranteed repairs that you can trust to last.
Speak to Us Here
1. Missing or Slipped Tiles
Tiles can crack or blow off in a storm, especially on older roofs. If you notice gaps or broken pieces, it’s time to call in the
pros.
2. Sagging Roof Lines
That slight dip in your roof might seem harmless, but it could be a sign of rotten beams or weakened underlay. Better to
catch it early.
3. Moss or Algae Growth
It may look charming, but moss traps moisture, which can cause tiles to lift or degrade over time.
4. Damp Patches Inside
If you spot water stains on your ceiling or walls, your roof might be leaking. This is one of the biggest red flags.
5. Bits in the Gutter
Finding bits of tile, grit, or cement in your gutters is a sign your roof materials are wearing down.
6. Loose Flashing
Flashings around chimneys, skylights, and valleys are common weak points. If they’re lifting or cracked, they’ll let water
straight in.
7. Daylight Through the Loft
Switch off the light, look up—if you can see daylight, water won’t be far behind.
