What tends to be worth checking around Droylsden?
A wall flashing, rooflight detail or verge can cause more trouble than the middle of the slope.
If the leak started after roofline work, look at where the felt now finishes and whether the gutter sits correctly under it.
A lower flat roof next to the main house is often the place to inspect before assuming the main tiles are at fault.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
On a Droylsden house, I would separate the main roof from the lower roofs straight away. A garage, bay or extension can be the whole problem.
If the defect is supposed to be a tile, ask to see whether the crack runs through the interlock or channel. A broken corner and a split water channel do not behave the same way.
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.
