Roof Repairs in Forres

Roof Repairs for Forres homes

Forres may be drier than much of Scotland, but westerly gales and hard frosts still loosen ridges and crack chimney pointing. We repair the problem properly and explain what we did.

Forres has plenty of traditional stone and slate buildings, plus newer housing with tiled roofs and flat-roofed extensions.

What we cover

• Leak investigation
• Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
• Flashing repairs
• Storm damage

Signs to look out for

• Damp patches or staining on ceilings or walls
• Slates or tiles found in the garden or gutter
• Daylight visible in the loft
• Drips or damp after heavy rain or wind
• A musty smell in upstairs rooms or the loft

How we work

We find where the water is actually getting in — which is not always directly above the damp patch — then explain the repair and put it right. Water can travel along felt and timbers before it shows inside, so the first job is tracing it properly. Once we know the cause, we talk you through what the repair involves before any work is agreed.

What affects the cost

• How easy the damaged area is to reach
• How much of the roof is affected
• The materials needed to match your existing roof
• Whether access equipment is needed
