What tends to be worth checking around Lees?
Council planning guidance treats Lees separately, which is useful when checking local planning or heritage constraints on older property.
The front flashing may be visible from the road, but the side soakers and rear gutter can be where the leak actually starts. Ask for roof-level photographs.
Where a lower roof meets the original wall, the lead or other flashing has to turn water away from the joint. Repeated sealant patches usually mean the original detail wants opening up.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
In Lees, a damp patch close to a chimney or lower extension should be described in relation to that junction. Saying 'the stain is two feet behind the chimney breast' is more useful than simply saying the roof leaks.
What should the roofer show you?
Ask for a close photograph of the lead where the lower roof meets the wall, or of the hidden chimney gutter if the stack is involved. Old sealant around the joint should not be treated as proof that the lead beneath is sound.
