What this work involves
Record when water enters and arrange safe assessment. Discuss temporary protection and permanent repair as separate stages.
- Investigation and damage pattern
- Roof details and drainage
- Temporary and permanent solutions
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Establish the cause and extent of deterioration before choosing a repair product.
Decide this before construction
Select the material early enough to design edges and fixings around it. Review a sample in its intended location before placing the full order.
Allow for later maintenance
Create a maintenance record for each material, including access points and product information. Base the first inspection on the chosen system and actual exposure.
How to review the result
Assess variation against the agreed sample and product information. Distinguish natural differences from damage or an incorrectly executed junction.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on cause, roof access, materials and repair extent. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for roof leaks & repairs. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging roof leaks & repairs?
A temporary measure is not automatically a permanent repair. Record any investigation or repair work still required.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
