Extension Roof Leak Repairs in Stockport

The junction between an extension and the original house is often more troublesome than the middle of the new roof.

Roofing detail relevant to extension roof leak repairs in stockport

Check the wall above the flashing

Cracked render, pointing or a window sill can send water behind flashing that is otherwise sound.

Low pitches reduce the margin for error

Some interlocking tiles are unsuitable on very shallow roofs because wind-driven rain can reach beneath the laps.

The extension and original house can move slightly differently

Small movement at the junction can open rigid mortar fillets and badly detailed flashings.
