Usually one of the more obvious signs of a roof being damaged are leaks and damp spots, usually in corners of the room along with mould and a musty smell, particularly if it’s been there for a while. Sometimes the leak may be subtle and isn’t noticed straight away, particularly if it’s an older build. This can be linked with any moss that may gather over time and create damage and spots where water can come through.
Occasionally a reason for a leak is if the roof tiles are cracked or have moved. This can be from being worn or be affected by the weather, such as a storm. However tiles that have become misshapen will normally need replacing by a professional.
You may find that light comes through the roof if there are any cracks, or if a tile needs replacing. A way to tell is to go to the highest point of your home, such as the loft, and switching of the light. If light comes through, like above, it is best to get a professional to check. Having an examination done often will reduce any worries you may have. If you need help with a roof repair in Exeter then call Ayre Roofing.
