Roof details grouped for comparison
Find the roof area closest to your concern
Look for the material, junction or drainage detail that resembles your roof. A similar appearance does not confirm the same cause, so include the property location, recent weather and safe wide and close photos when making an enquiry.
Ridge and mortar condition
Ridge caps, bedding and pointing details
Close views show different visible conditions around ridge capping, mortar edges and adjoining tiles. Compare isolated cracks, wider weathering and movement before discussing whether a local or broader ridge assessment is needed.
Tile roof condition
Tiles, openings and wider roof context
These photographs show cracked tiles, framing access, roof openings and wider tiled-roof views. Use them to identify the damaged detail and show how it sits within the surrounding roof.
Junction and water path
Valleys, walls and flashing intersections
Roof leaks can involve a connected water path. These views show valley channels, wall-to-roof junctions, tile edges and metal flashing that may need to be checked together.
Metal roof drainage
Box gutters, seams and folded metal details
The metal-roof set shows box-gutter channels, seams, corners and folded edges from several angles. Include the surrounding roof area and overflow location so capacity, fall and repair options can be assessed.
