Roof Problems and Roof Repairs in Hyde

Hyde has old mill-town housing, later estates and more exposed ground towards Gee Cross and Mottram. Slate, concrete tile, chimney lead and eaves repairs all turn up, but the weather can help narrow down which detail is failing.

Roofing detail relevant to homes in Hyde

What tends to be worth checking around Hyde?

Driving rain is useful evidence

If the leak appears only when rain is pushed against one side of the house, tell the roofer. A weak verge, chimney side or tile lap can stay dry in ordinary rain and leak in wind.

A repeated slipped slate needs more than another clip

If different slates are coming down from the same old slope, look at the nails and battens. The slate may still be perfectly good.

Fascia decay often starts behind the board

Old felt can sag at the eaves and pour water onto the back of the fascia. New uPVC fitted over the front does not cure that water path.

Older or protected property: Tameside Council publishes conservation and listed-building information for the borough, including protected areas around Hyde and the wider Tameside area. Council information.

What would I want to know before looking at the roof?

For a leak that comes and goes in Hyde, the wind direction is worth remembering. If it only happens with rain blowing onto one side of the house, say so before the roofer goes up.

What should the roofer show you?

If fascia boards are wet, ask for the eaves to be opened enough to see the felt. If slates keep slipping, ask whether the fixings across the slope are failing rather than paying for the same isolated repair again.
