Water coming in from roof

Question

There is water coming in from my roof and also the neighbours roof is having problems. We need to find the source of the leak.

Lenny · Accepted Answer

Roof inspection is needed. Possibly something minor as a broken tile or under-felt is perished.
Or it could be many other reasons; flashing issues, cement work, etc

Ben · Answer

There is a number of reasons why this maybe happening, unless an inspection is carried out, which most companies do for free. We do free quotes then it can be established how the water is getting in.

Jon · Answer

Sometimes to check a leaking roof its better to inspect the roof for cracked tiles and missing flashings etc then check inside your loft space which may also help find a leak.

Sophie · Answer

I would recommend a roof survey. Assuming that you and your neighbours houses are attached this could be for any number of reasons. 
If either house has had a new roof fitted it could be the join or maybe the whole roof is old which would need inspection to find cause/causes. 
There could also be a small leak in either roof that has built up over time and made its way into both properties.

Daniel · Answer

We would need to get up with a ladder and see what is causing it. Usually a broken tile, flashing or a loose ridge tile.

Leigh · Answer

You need to have a roof survey to locate the source of the problem.

Lance · Answer

Water can come in at any point depending  on the condition of your roof etc
If flashings are out of place round your chimney stack and your neighbours this can cause water to enter both houses at same time.
Close inspection of both roofs will give the cause of the problems 
Able roofing and building

Steve · Answer

If both you and your neighbour are having issues from a leaking roof it is most likely a dividing hip or bonding gutter that is failing. It could be the lead around a joint chimney stack needs replacing.

Could be a slate/tile that has failed or even the ridge tiles. It's best to get a free quotation.

Jimmy · Answer

Firstly, is there any obvious entry points for the water? Missing/broken tiles? Loose lead work or mortar? If not, is there any visible water trail to focus on from the inside? An experienced roofer would give your roof a look over, narrowing down a checklist of possible weak points until the source of the leak could be found.
