Professional diagnosis, Survey-led roof repairs & upgrades

Professional Roofing Repairs and Upgrades for Long-Term Protection

Roof defects are a leading cause of penetrating damp, timber decay, and internal water damage. Effective roofing work starts with understanding how water is entering the structure, not simply replacing visible components. At Proofterior, all roofing repairs and upgrades are survey-led and evidence-based, carried out by our in-house team using proven methods focused on durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance.

Our Roofing Repairs and Upgrades Process

Every roof performs differently, which is why our work follows a clear, structured process designed to identify defects accurately and deliver long-term weather protection.

Survey

A comprehensive roof survey assesses coverings, flashings, joints, ventilation, and rainwater goods. Where required, drones are used to safely inspect gutters, flashings, and ridge lines for defects.

Diagnosis

Survey findings are carefully analysed to determine the true cause of roofing defects. This may include failed coverings, defective detailing, inadequate ventilation, or multiple contributing issues acting together.

Treatment

Once the cause is confirmed, appropriate roofing repairs or upgrade works are carried out by our in-house team. Proven systems and compatible materials are selected based on roof type, condition, and exposure level.

Protection

Preventative measures reduce future risk through improved detailing, ventilation upgrades, and roof treatments. All works focus on durability and long-term performance, supported by reporting and aftercare guidance.

The Importance of Roof Protection

The roof is the primary barrier protecting a property from weather exposure. When roof coverings, joints, or protective layers fail, moisture can enter the structure and lead to damp, timber decay, insulation failure, and internal damage. Roof protection is not just about stopping visible leaks, but about managing how water is shed, absorbed, and evaporated across the entire roof system. A properly protected roof reduces long-term maintenance costs, prevents moisture-related defects, and safeguards the building fabric beneath.

Replacing end-of-life roof systems for long-term protection

Re-Roofing Service

Re-roofing is required when an existing roof has deteriorated beyond effective repair due to age, widespread failure, or historic installation defects. As coverings, fixings, and membranes break down, water ingress becomes unpredictable and widespread. Patch repairs fail because defects are no longer isolated. Proofterior assesses roof structure, coverings, ventilation, and detailing before specifying a full replacement system appropriate to the property. Works include removal of existing materials, inspection of structural timbers, installation of new membranes, battens, coverings, and upgraded detailing. The result is a fully weather-resistant roof system designed for durability and long-term protection.

Roof Upgrades with RENOTEC® Roof Coating

Roof coatings provide an effective protective upgrade for roofs that remain structurally sound but show signs of surface wear, porosity, or weathering. Over time, roof coverings can lose their ability to shed water efficiently, allowing moisture to linger and increasing the risk of ingress, frost damage, and material breakdown. Quick cosmetic treatments fail because they do not bond correctly or address surface degradation.

Proofterior applies professional-grade Renotec roof coating systems following full roof assessment and preparation. The process involves cleaning and treating the roof surface, repairing minor defects where required, and applying a high-performance coating designed to restore water resistance and protect against ongoing weather exposure. This approach improves durability, enhances UV resistance, and helps prevent further surface deterioration.

As part of a wider roof protection strategy, roof coatings can extend the service life of existing coverings, reduce maintenance requirements, and delay the need for full replacement while maintaining effective weatherproofing.

Controlling water ingress and trapped moisture

Chimney Damp Repairs and Dropping Chimney Stacks

Chimney damp commonly results from failed flashing, porous masonry, defective flaunching, or unventilated unused flues. Once chimneys are no longer heated, moisture becomes trapped, leading to damp staining and internal deterioration. Internal repairs or blocked vents fail because moisture remains active within the stack. Proofterior inspects chimney structure, ventilation, leadwork, and masonry condition before specifying repairs. Works may include flashing renewal, repointing, chimney caps, ventilation installation, or controlled stack reduction. The outcome is a dry, ventilated chimney structure with moisture controlled at source.
