Roof Still Leaking After a Repair in Stockport

If a ceiling stain appears again after a repair, the first question is whether fresh water has arrived or whether old plaster is still drying.

Roofing detail relevant to roof still leaking after a repair in stockport

Mark the edge of the stain

A pencil line and dated photograph will show whether the damp area is actually growing.

Compare the weather conditions

If the first leak happened in driving rain and the second after a long steady downpour, there may be more than one water path.

Find out exactly what was repaired

Knowing which slates, flashings or joints were changed gives the roofer a much better starting point on the return visit.
