Signs include missing or damaged tiles, leaks, sagging areas, and visible water damage in your attic. If you have a tiled roof that is over 50 years old, it's likely time for replacement. Other indicators include:
Loose or slipped tiles
Damaged flashing
Blocked gutters
Moss growth
Cracked or broken tiles
Water stains on ceilings or walls
Planning permission can often be necessary for significant roofing work. Generally, minor repairs don't require permission, but major alterations, extensions, or changing roof materials often do. Always check with your local planning authority, especially for:
Listed buildings
Conservation areas
Significant structural changes
Roof extensions or dormers
Changes to roof height or pitch
Regular roof inspections help identify small roof leaks and fine cracks before minor damage allows water to seep in. Recommended schedule:
Homeowner inspections: Twice yearly (spring and autumn)
After severe weather: Storm damage checks
Professional inspections: Every 3-5 years
Older roofs: Annual professional inspections
Had SAF Roofing install new soffits and fascias. Sean's attention to detail is impressive - everything lines up perfectly and looks fantastic. The team worked efficiently and kept the site tidy throughout. Clear communication about progress and any minor changes needed. Pricing was transparent and reasonable. The finished job exceeded our expectations. Highly professional service that I'd recommend without hesitation.
We'd had roofers out three times for the same leak with no success. Sean found the real issue within minutes - damaged flashing that others had missed. Fixed it properly and hasn't leaked since. Professional, efficient, and clearly knows his trade inside out. Fair pricing for quality work. The peace of mind is worth every penny. Won't use anyone else for roofing work now.
From quote to completion, Sean provided excellent service. Turned up when promised, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. The repair work on our 1930s semi looks seamless - you can't tell where the new tiles are. Great value for money and no pushy sales tactics. Just honest, professional service. Would definitely recommend SAF Roofing Solutions to anyone needing roof work done properly.
