Drainage belongs in the roof conversation.
Water ingress can be linked to blocked or deteriorating rainwater systems as well as the roof covering. The visible condition, capacity and route of drainage should inform the assessment.
What to consider
- Gutters, outlets and accessible downpipes
- Joints, seals and signs of leakage
- Debris and vegetation affecting drainage
- Repair or replacement requirements
Make access and inspection part of the plan
Commercial gutters may be difficult to reach safely. Tell us about building height, access restrictions and any overflow history. Do not climb onto the roof to investigate.
Your questions, answered
Will gutter cleaning solve a roof leak?
It may address a blockage, but leaks can have several causes. Persistent problems need assessment rather than an assumption that cleaning alone will resolve them.
Can rainwater works be included with roof maintenance?
They can be considered within an agreed maintenance scope, subject to access and the building’s requirements.
