Recognising the problem

What are you seeing?

Six conditions

These are the conditions people most often describe when they call. If one of them matches what you are looking at, that is enough to get in touch — you do not need to work out the cause first.

01 Water appearing inside Dripping, damp patches or staining on a ceiling or wall.
02 Visible roof damage Something on the roof looks damaged or out of place from the ground.
03 Missing or displaced roofing Material that has lifted, shifted or come away.
04 Damage around a roof detail A concern near a vent, chimney, valley, edge or another junction.
05 Concerns following severe weather Something changed after wind, heavy rain or snow.
06 A condition that appears to be getting worse Something you had noticed before that now looks more pronounced.

A note on safety

If conditions are unsafe, avoid accessing the roof yourself. Describing what you can see from inside or from the ground is enough to start the conversation.

Worth knowing

Where you see the leak may not be where water entered the roof

Four things to mention

Water can travel some distance within a building before it becomes visible inside, so the spot where it appears does not necessarily identify the entry point on the roof.

That is not a reason to delay contact — it is the reason the condition is worth looking at properly rather than assumed from the stain.

Useful things to mention on the call

  1. 01 Where Where the water is appearing
  2. 02 When When you first noticed it
  3. 03 What changed Whether anything changed recently
  4. 04 Location Where the property is located

After you get in touch

Understanding the next step

Three outcomes

The appropriate response depends on the roof, the condition involved and the scope that needs to be considered. Not every urgent roofing problem means the entire roof needs to be replaced.

A localized repair may be relevant

where the condition appears concentrated and the surrounding roof supports a more limited scope. About roof repair

A broader roofing scope may need to be discussed

where concerns appear across the roof or the existing system may need to be considered as a whole. About roof replacement

Either way, the condition comes first.

The goal is to understand what is actually happening before deciding what work is appropriate.

Six questions

What should I do if I notice a roof leak?

Contact Annex Roofing and describe what you are seeing — where the water is appearing, when it started and where the property is located. If conditions are unsafe, avoid accessing the roof yourself.

Does a roof leak always mean the roof needs to be replaced?

No. The appropriate scope depends on the condition of the roof and what is found. A localized repair may be relevant in some situations, and a broader roofing scope may need to be discussed in others.

Can you tell where the leak is coming from based on where I see water?

Not reliably. Water can travel some distance within a building before it becomes visible inside, so the point where you see it is not necessarily the point where it entered the roof. Describing what you are seeing is still useful context.
