When Should You Consider a New Roof?
Not every roofing problem means you need a complete replacement. However, there are times when continuing to patch and repair an old roof becomes less practical.
You may need to consider a new roof if you are experiencing:
-
Ongoing Roof Leaks
Repeated leaks can be a sign that the roof covering, battens, felt or wider roof structure has started to fail. -
Broken, Slipped or Missing Tiles
A few damaged tiles can often be repaired, but widespread tile failure may point to a roof that is reaching the end of its serviceable life. -
Sagging or Uneven Roof Lines
A roof that appears to dip, sag or bow should always be inspected properly, as this may indicate structural movement or underlying timber issues. -
Failing Felt, Battens or Roof Coverings
Older roofs can suffer from worn underlay, rotten battens and poor ventilation, which can lead to further damage if left unresolved. -
Poor Previous Workmanship
Some roofs fail earlier than expected because of poor installation, unsuitable materials or incorrect detailing around valleys, ridges, chimneys and abutments.
