Roof leak

Water coming through the ceiling, a damp attic, or missing roof tiles.

Quick things to check first

  • 1From ground level only, check for obviously missing or slipped tiles.
  • 2Check the attic for a visible entry point or wet insulation.
  • 3Photograph any ceiling staining and note if it's spreading.

These are general pointers, not a full diagnosis. For guidance tailored to your exact problem, show us a photo and describe it.

When to call a professional instead

  • Any actual roof access or repair work — this is not a DIY job
  • A sagging ceiling, which can mean structural water damage
