What tends to be worth checking around Royton?
A cracked tile may let water beneath the covering without producing an immediate ceiling stain. If the underlay is sound, it can carry that water down the roof until it reaches a tear or the eaves.
The middle of a flat roof can look fine while the upstand against the house has split or pulled away. Ask the roofer to check the perimeter before coating the whole surface.
New boards will rot again if water is still being discharged behind them. The bottom tile course and felt need checking before the fascia is covered up.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
For a Royton tiled roof, I would ask whether the leak follows one cracked tile or whether the water appears much lower down. Water on the underlay can travel before it finds a place to drip.
What should the roofer show you?
On a flat-roof extension, ask the roofer to photograph the wall upstand and outlet. On a rotten fascia, ask to see the underlay above it before new boards go on.
