Seasonal Roof Maintenance Checklist
The four short checks per year that catch 90% of roofing problems before they become expensive.
Spring: clear gutters and downpipes after winter debris. Check for slipped tiles caused by winter storms. Inspect chimney flashings from ground level with binoculars.
Summer: check the loft for daylight and damp staining. Trim overhanging branches. Inspect flat roofs for pooling water and check upstands.
Autumn: clear gutters again before leaves accumulate. Confirm downpipes are running freely. Book any repairs before winter.
Winter: after any significant storm, do a ground-level check for missing tiles and debris. Check the loft after heavy rain.
