What tends to be worth checking around Bredbury?
Rotten fascias and damp soffits often come from the underlay above them rather than the gutter in front.
Once rain gets onto the felt, it can run until it finds a tear or an open edge. The place where the ceiling gets wet is not always the place where the tile failed.
A new roof level can send more water towards one gutter or abutment than the original house ever did.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
On a Bredbury roof, I would want to know whether the problem is over the main house or an extension. The same wet patch can lead you to very different repairs.
If the fascia is being changed, ask to see the felt and rafter ends first. Once the new board is on, the chance to inspect the real cause has gone.
What should the roofer show you?
Ask for a clear photograph of the actual defect before agreeing to more than a small repair. On a chimney leak, that should include the rear and the sides. On a fascia problem, it should include the felt and timber behind the bottom course. On a tile or slate repair, it should show whether the covering failed or the fixing underneath gave way.
If safe access needs scaffold, make sure the quote says so. One small defect beside a high chimney or above a conservatory can be cheap to repair and expensive to reach.
