Small issues such as slipped tiles, isolated leaks or damaged flashing can often be repaired.

The lifespan of a roof depends on the materials used and how well it has been maintained. Slate roofs can last over 100 years, while tiled roofs often last between 50 and 70 years. Flat roofing systems typically have a lifespan of 20 to 40 years, depending on the material and installation quality.

Gutters should generally be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, particularly during autumn when leaves and debris can accumulate. Blocked gutters can lead to overflowing water, damp problems and damage to brickwork, fascias and soffits.
