Roofing and exterior maintenance in Maresfield, with existing materials and access taken into account.
Maresfield’s rural homes have roofs of different ages and materials. Where a valley or wall junction leaks, we check the flashing and neighbouring tiles or slates before deciding what needs replacing.
A Maresfield valley or wall junction can leak through a flashing even while adjacent tiles or slates are sound. Rural roof shapes and access vary, so both the junction material and a safe working method should be considered.
A gutter serving that roof plane can separately spill rainwater if its joint or outlet has failed. The outlet and downpipe are part of that junction and may need work alongside flashings or covering.

A flashing, valley or upstand at the meeting point may be the weakness. The two roof surfaces and the drainage path through the junction should be assessed together.
Often, if the adjacent coverings are sound and the problem is confined to the channel or its flashings. The condition beneath the neighbouring tiles matters.
The edge trim, upstand, membrane seam and outlet can each let water in. Identifying the failed detail helps avoid covering a symptom while the junction remains open.
Yes. Overflow near the meeting of two roofs can wet the wall and roofline below. The gutter fall, outlet and adjacent flashing need separate checks.
