How the service call works

  1. Assessment

    Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.

  2. Repair or protection

    Targeted work or temporary measures when access, weather and safety conditions allow.

  3. Report and recommendations

    A summary of findings, useful photos and priorities for what comes next — without any promise of overall watertightness.

Typical steps on site

  1. Inspection from a ladder or via secure access
  2. Unblocking or localised removal
  3. Adjusting the pitch where possible
  4. Water flow test, provided conditions are safe
