Inspect the roof edge as one system
Staining below the eaves can come from an overflowing gutter, failed fascia support or a defect at the edge of the covering. We visit properties in Heswall for roofline work, gutter repairs and slate or tile roofing. By inspecting these components together, we can see whether water is escaping at a joint, running behind the gutter or entering higher up. This avoids replacing the most visible part while leaving the weak support or incorrect fall that caused the problem.
Plan access around extensions and gardens
Side passages, conservatories, rear extensions and landscaping can all sit exactly where safe roof access is needed. When arranging an assessment in Heswall, tell us what lies beneath the affected elevation and whether gates or neighbouring boundaries restrict movement. Wider photographs are useful because they show both the fault and the route to it. For higher roofline work, we also consider where suitable access or scaffolding could stand.
Frequently asked questions
Why is water running behind our gutter?
The gutter may be misaligned, overflowing or pulling away from its fascia support. Water can also miss the gutter because of an eaves detail above it. We inspect the edge as a connected system before deciding which part needs correction.
Can you repair gutters and fascias together?
Yes. Fascias support the gutter brackets, so their condition and alignment affect rainwater flow. We can assess local repairs or wider roofline work depending on how much material has failed and whether the surrounding support remains sound.
How do conservatories affect roof access?
A conservatory can block the safest ladder or scaffold position beneath an elevation. Tell us its location and send a wider photograph. We consider alternative access and avoid placing equipment where the structure cannot safely support it.
