Hidden Damage…

Sometimes a Roof can be Leaking slightly without any signs showing inside the property for some time…
This can happen during heavy spells of rain where the old tiles can start to soak in rain water allowing moisture to reach the under felt and wood battens that the tiles are fitted to…
Over Time this can cause internal damage to the roof structure…
Problems like this can show inside the property as black mould appearing along the join between the ceiling and the outside walls…
If any moisture gets through the coverings and is trapped in the Roof Void (Loft) Dry Rot and Wet Rot can occur inside the Roof void badly affecting the Timbers and Structure…
Most Tile Roofs over 50 years old especially low pitch roofs are prone to this kind of internal damage…
