Hi,
After a heavy rainfall in Jan 2019 I noticed a leak on the ceiling in the hallway, covering an area of about 8 x 3 inches. I phoned a roofing company and someone came out a few days later to inspect and informed me that the felt was rotten and needed replacing. His quote was worded: To remove bottom course of tiles and install felt as on bottom course as current felt rotten. To point in 4 ridge tiles. I agreed for him to carry out the work. After a heavy rainfall a few days ago the same thing happened again (2 years 4 months later). I phoned same roofing company and someone came and had a look today and said that the problem now is the moss on the roof and it needs removing. He said that he can't see any problem with the tiles.(He wasn't the same person that inspected the first time) Just seems strange that the leak is in exactly the same place as the repair that was done in the first place. Could he be right about the moss causing the leak in exactly the same place? Although I've lived in property for 12 years I believe the age of the roof is roughly 45 years. He is going to send me a quote for removing the moss. Or I'm thinking that maybe it's time to replace the roof.
I've just received the quote for removing the moss.
