Leaking Roofs
Damp patches, water ingress and unexplained leaks investigated to locate the source.
From an unexplained leak or slipped tile to storm damage, chimney problems and failed flashing, T.Harris Roofing investigates the cause and recommends the repair that is actually needed.
Tell us what you've noticed. We'll inspect the roof, identify the likely cause and explain the repair options.
✓ Free inspection✓ No-obligation quotation✓ Fully insured✓ Guaranteed workRoof faults are not always obvious from ground level. We can inspect the affected area and trace where water or weather damage is getting in.
Damp patches, water ingress and unexplained leaks investigated to locate the source.
Missing, cracked or displaced tiles and slates repaired before further water penetration occurs.
Repairs following high winds and severe weather, including displaced coverings and damaged roof details.
Problems around chimney stacks, pointing and adjoining roof areas assessed and repaired.
Failed or damaged flashing at vulnerable roof junctions repaired to help stop water ingress.
Leaks, splits and local deterioration to felt and GRP flat roofing systems assessed for repair.

A leak does not automatically mean the whole roof needs replacing. Where a suitable repair can resolve the problem, our repair-led approach focuses on the affected area first.
Call or email and explain what you've noticed, such as a leak, damp patch, slipped tile or storm damage.
We assess the affected area and look for the likely cause rather than assuming replacement is required.
We'll explain the work proposed and provide a no-obligation quotation for the repair.
Approved repair work is completed professionally with workmanship guaranteed.
The source of a roofing problem can be at a roof covering, junction, chimney or roofline. T.Harris Roofing can assess connected areas where they may be contributing to the issue.
Most people contact us because something has changed rather than because they already know exactly which roofing component has failed. It may be a leaking roof, loose tiles, damaged ridge work, failed flashing or weather damage. Our job is to look beyond the symptom, find the likely cause and explain what we believe needs to be done.
A repair should deal with the reason water is getting in, not simply cover the most obvious mark. We look at how the roof is put together and at the areas around the visible problem before recommending the work.
When we inspect a problem we consider the roof covering, ridges, valleys, chimney junctions, leadwork and nearby guttering. Roofing defects can be connected, particularly where pitched roofs meet chimneys, walls, valleys or flat sections. That is why we prefer to see the affected area and give a quotation based on the actual condition rather than promise a price from a short description alone.
Once we have assessed the problem, we explain the proposed work in plain language. If a focused repair is appropriate, that is what we will quote for. If there is wider deterioration that changes the sensible approach, we will explain that as well. The aim is for you to understand what you are paying for before work starts.
A loose tile, open joint or small split can be easy to put off when there is no obvious damage inside. The difficulty is that repeated rain can gradually affect underlay, battens, timbers, plaster and decoration. Getting the problem checked early can give you more options and may prevent a relatively contained repair becoming a larger job.
We carry out work for homeowners across West Essex and North East London, including Chingford, Walthamstow, Woodford, Loughton and Harlow. If you are unsure what type of repair you need, you do not have to diagnose it yourself. Tell us what you have noticed and we can arrange an inspection.
We will ask what you have seen, when the problem occurs and whether there is active water ingress. At the property we assess the accessible affected areas and look for the likely source. We then discuss the repair and provide a no-obligation quotation. Approved work is carried out professionally, with the site left tidy when we finish.

Two roof leaks can look identical inside a property and still have completely different causes. That is why we do not like quoting for a patch based only on a photograph of the damp mark. We look at the roof covering and the details around it so the proposed repair matches the fault.
We check the roof above and around the affected area because water can travel before it becomes visible indoors. Tiles, valleys, flashings, chimneys and roof junctions can all be involved.
Wind can lift or displace individual tiles and disturb ridge or verge details. If the surrounding roof remains sound, the right answer may be a focused repair rather than replacement.
Repeated patching can hide the symptom without dealing with the weak detail. We inspect the surrounding area and explain what we believe needs correcting before carrying out the work.
We look beyond the obvious surface split and check edges, laps, outlets, upstands and adjoining walls because these details are often where water finds a route in.
Leadwork, mortar and the surrounding roof covering all need to work together. We inspect the complete junction instead of assuming a bead of sealant will provide a lasting repair.
Rainwater problems can damage walls and roof edges. We check joints, outlets, alignment and downpipes so we can distinguish a gutter fault from a roof leak.
These are some of the practical questions we are commonly asked when somebody first gets in touch about a roofing problem.
Yes, where the defect is localised and the surrounding roof is still serviceable, a targeted repair may be the sensible option. We inspect the roof first and explain what we find.
Yes. We look at the accessible roof area and the details most likely to be causing the leak, then explain the repair we recommend.
Typical work includes leaks, slipped or broken tiles and slates, storm damage, chimney and leadwork faults, flat-roof problems and roofline defects.
Yes. Our approach is to inspect the problem, explain what appears to be wrong and provide a quotation for the recommended work.
