Damp is one of the most common complaints among London homeowners. Peeling paint, musty smells, and dark patches on walls often lead people to believe they have rising damp or condensation problems. However, in many cases, the real issue isn’t damp at all; it’s a failing roof.
For many London homeowners, roof inspections only happen when something goes wrong, a leak appears, tiles fall during a storm, or damp patches show up inside the home.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian homes are admired for their character, craftsmanship, and period features. However, their age also means they come with unique roofing challenges.
Flat roofs are extremely common across London, from rear extensions and garages to commercial buildings and blocks of flats. While modern flat roofing systems are durable, they don’t last forever.
When roof damage occurs, whether it’s a missing tile, a leak, or a tear in a flat roof membrane, homeowners are often faced with a choice: patch the problem quickly or invest in a proper repair.
For many London homes, especially older Victorian and Edwardian properties, chimneys are more than just architectural features, they play a key role in keeping your roof structurally sound and weatherproof.
