Roof repairs and flat roofing in Polegate, including the junctions between extensions and pitched roofs.
Polegate's mix of pitched roofs and extensions creates junctions where flat roofs meet walls or coverings. Leaks at those points can demand flashing or drainage work rather than a patch on the main roof surface.
A Polegate flat-roofed extension may leak at the wall flashing or outlet rather than through the middle of the covering. The junction, roof falls and rainwater route should be checked before deciding whether a patch or replacement is appropriate.
Where the extension meets a pitched roof, gutter placement and drainage can also influence where water collects. The outlet and downpipe are part of that junction and may need work alongside flashings or covering.

A valley can collect debris or its lining may fail, directing water beneath adjoining tiles. The channel and nearby coverings should be checked as one junction.
Yes. The upstand or wall flashing may open while both roof surfaces remain sound. The outlet and nearby membrane or tiles also need checking.
Water may travel across the deck before appearing below. The corner seam, edge trim, upstand and fall towards the outlet are better clues than the stain alone.
A restricted or split pipe can make the gutter spill behind the fascia. Tracing that route helps distinguish drainage trouble from water entering through the roof.
