Roof Repairs In Wivenhoe
Most roof leaks in Wivenhoe start small. A slipped tile, a split piece of lead around a chimney or a valley clogged with debris lets water in a little at a time. Homes near the quay feel the wind that runs along the River Colne, and the damp air there slowly wears out mortar and lead. A well-judged repair now saves a much bigger job later.

Common repairs across Wivenhoe
In the old town, the narrow streets of cottages leading down to the water have steep clay tile and slate roofs with chimneys. The repairs we do most there are re-dressing worn chimney flashing, replacing slipped or cracked tiles, and clearing and relining blocked valleys. Further up the hill, towards Wivenhoe Cross, the concrete tiled roofs more often need ridge and verge mortar renewed, or a cracked tile swapped after a storm. We find the actual source of the leak before fixing anything, because water can travel along a rafter and appear well away from where it got in.

Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Most like-for-like roof repairs and re-roofs in England do not need planning permission. Changing how the roof looks, adding dormers or living in a conservation area can change that.
