Leaking Roof Repairs
A leaking roof is one of the most common reasons homeowners contact us. DnB Roofing carries out leaking roof repairs across London — finding where the water is getting in and dealing with the cause, not just the visible symptom.
Roof leaks can be deceptive. The place where water appears inside isn't always where it's entering the roof. Water can run along timbers or felt before showing on a ceiling, which is why looking at the roof itself is important. A damp patch in one room can originate from a damaged tile or failing flashing some distance away.
If you've spotted signs of a leak, it's worth getting in touch promptly. Even a slow leak can affect timbers, insulation and ceilings over time. We'll discuss what you're seeing, assess the roof, and carry out the repair needed to stop the water.
What To Look For

In Detail
Finding And Fixing Roof Leaks
The first step in fixing a leak is finding its source. Because water travels, the visible damp patch is rarely the entry point. We look at the roof covering, the flashing around chimneys and valleys, and the junctions where different parts of the roof meet — all common points where water penetrates.
Damaged or slipped tiles are a frequent cause, allowing water past the covering to the underlay. Where the underlay has failed too, water can reach the timbers. Flashing that has lifted, cracked or come away from chimneys and abutments is another regular culprit.
Once the source is identified, the repair is targeted at the cause. Replacing a damaged tile, renewing a section of flashing, or resealing a junction stops the water at its entry point. Where a leak indicates wider roof failure, we'll explain that honestly rather than carrying out a repair that won't hold.

Questions
Leaking Roof Repairs — Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a leaking roof?
Yes. Leaking roofs are one of the most common repairs we carry out. We find where the water is entering and carry out the repair needed to stop it.
The leak is in one room — will the problem be above that room?
Not necessarily. Water can travel along timbers or felt before showing internally, so the entry point on the roof may be some distance from the damp patch. That's why we assess the roof itself.
How quickly should a leaking roof be dealt with?
As soon as practical. Even a slow leak can affect timbers, insulation and ceilings over time, so getting in touch promptly helps limit the damage.
What causes most roof leaks?
Common causes include damaged or slipped tiles, failing flashing around chimneys and valleys, and problems at roof junctions. We identify the specific cause on your roof.
Can a leak be fixed without replacing the whole roof?
In most cases, yes. Many leaks come from localised failures that can be repaired. Where a leak points to widespread roof failure, we'll explain that honestly.
Do you repair leaks around chimneys?
Yes. Flashing around chimneys is a common source of leaks, and repairing or renewing it forms part of our leaking roof repair work.
