1. Can you repair a leaking roof?
Yes. We repair roof leaks on both pitched and flat roofs.
Leaks may be caused by damaged tiles, deteriorated flashing, worn roofing materials, or storm damage. Acting quickly can help prevent water damage inside the property.
We'll identify the source of the leak and carry out the most appropriate repair.
2. What should I do if roof tiles fall off?
If roof tiles become loose or fall, avoid going onto the roof yourself and keep clear of the affected area if there is a risk of falling debris.
Missing tiles leave the roof vulnerable to water ingress and further weather damage.
Contact CanCan as soon as possible so we can assess the roof and replace any damaged or missing tiles.
3. Can you repair damaged roof flashing?
Yes. We repair and replace damaged flashing around chimneys, roof valleys, skylights, and other roof junctions.
Flashing helps prevent water entering vulnerable areas of the roof, so damaged flashing should be repaired promptly.
4. Do you repair flat roofs?
Yes. We repair many common flat roof problems, including leaks, splits, blistering, and general wear.
We'll inspect the condition of the roof and recommend whether a repair or replacement offers the best long-term solution.
5. Can blocked gutters cause roof leaks?
Yes. Blocked gutters can prevent rainwater from draining away correctly, causing water to overflow onto roofing materials and surrounding structures.
Over time, this can contribute to damp, roof leaks, and damage to fascias and soffits.
Keeping gutters clear is an important part of routine property maintenance.
6. Can you replace broken roof tiles?
Yes. We replace cracked, slipped, and broken roof tiles.
Replacing damaged tiles promptly helps maintain the weatherproof integrity of the roof and reduces the risk of water entering the property.
7. Do you carry out roof inspections?
Yes. We provide roof inspections for homeowners, landlords, and commercial properties.
Inspections can help identify loose tiles, damaged flashing, blocked gutters, and other issues before they develop into more costly repairs.
8. Can you repair storm damage?
Yes. We repair many forms of storm-related roof damage.
Strong winds and heavy rain can dislodge roof tiles, damage flashing, loosen ridge tiles, and allow water to enter the property.
We'll assess the damage and carry out the necessary repairs as quickly as possible.
9. How do I know if my roof needs repairing?
Common warning signs include water stains on ceilings, missing roof tiles, damp loft insulation, visible daylight in the roof space, and recurring leaks during heavy rain.
If you're unsure, we can inspect the roof and advise whether repairs are required.
10. Do you offer emergency roofing repairs?
Yes. We provide emergency roofing repairs where severe weather or sudden damage has left a property exposed.
Temporary measures can often be used to reduce further damage until permanent repairs can be completed safely.
Contact CanCan if you require urgent roofing assistance and we'll arrange for a roofer to attend as quickly as possible.
