Have you noticed a persistent drip or a dark stain on the upstairs plaster? It’s tempting to hope it’ll just go away, but in Cornwall, a small leak is usually just the start. High winds can easily shift ridge tiles or pull up lead flashing around your chimney, creating the perfect entry point for rain. This 'water ingress' can quickly rot timbers and damage your insulation if it isn't caught early.When we arrive at your home, we don't just slap on a temporary fix. We carry out a thorough assessment to find the root cause of the problem. Often, it's something as simple as ridge tile re-bedding or replacing a few cracked tiles that have succumbed to 'coastal battering.' We'll explain exactly what's gone wrong in plain English, show you the evidence, and tell you how we plan to fix it properly.
