Water comes through the ceiling when it rains. Do I need a roofer?
Rain-related water entry is a reason to request a roof or external water-ingress investigation. Say when the mark appears and which room is affected; the entry point may be away from the stain. Send photos from a safe position and leave roof access to the appropriate specialist.
My gutter overflows in rain. Does it need cleaning or repair?
A blockage and a leaking, sagging or disconnected gutter need different work. Tell us whether water spills over the edge or escapes at a joint. We can scope clearance and any repair separately, including the access equipment required.
Can a leaking flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
It depends on the roof covering, extent of damage and condition of the surrounding roof. A local repair may be suitable, but photographs alone cannot confirm that. Include the roof type if known and any previous repairs so an appropriate inspection and quote can be arranged.

Roof & gutter repairs in South Kensington
Planning the repair at your South Kensington property
For a South Kensington mansion flat or converted home, plan repairs around building access and existing finishes. A fault at a window or outside wall may need the freeholder’s involvement as well as access inside the flat.
A leak inside does not establish roof ownership
For a top-floor flat, include the managing agent and any roof-access information. We can help scope investigation, but work on a shared roof needs the responsible party involved. Internal damage and roof repair are separate parts of the quotation.
Matching roof coverings and rainwater details
Show the affected roof detail from ground level and identify materials to retain. A local repair, renewed covering and replacement guttering have different implications. For protected buildings, check the actual address and proposed changes before ordering materials.
Example work, explained
Clearing leaves from blocked gutters
- The problem
- Leaves and debris obstruct the rainwater route, causing a gutter to spill over. A leaking joint or damaged downpipe can cause a similar symptom.
- The work involved
- Plan safe access, remove debris from the agreed gutter runs and check accessible outlets. Failed joints, damaged sections and specialist access are priced as part of the actual scope.
- Checks and next steps
- Check the accessible rainwater route and visible joints, report remaining defects and leave the collected debris ready for the agreed disposal arrangements.
Need similar work at your South Kensington property? Tell us the symptoms and access arrangements.
Help us prepare the right visit
Give the flat number and floor, contractor access rules and any permission already obtained. Explain whether the work changes an exterior feature or repairs the existing one.
Can I book work on the shared roof of my block?
You can report the problem and request a quote. The building owner or responsible manager needs to arrange authority and access before a roof visit or repair is booked.
Does a small roof repair need planning consent?
It depends on the building, work and any applicable protections. Use the relevant council guidance for the actual property; a repair description alone does not determine consent requirements.
