01

Identifying the Source of Your Roof Leak

A roof leak is rarely as simple as a single missing tile. Water often travels a significant distance from the point of entry before becoming visible inside your home. Whether the issue stems from a cracked Kent peg tile on a period property, a slipped slate on a Victorian terrace, or failed mortar on a chimney stack, Levi King applies a methodical diagnostic approach. We examine the integrity of your ridge tiles, the condition of the underlay, and the efficiency of your guttering system to pinpoint exactly where the moisture is gaining access.

02

Emergency Storm Make-Safe Services in Sevenoaks

Heavy storms can cause sudden damage that leaves your home vulnerable to immediate water ingress. If gale-force winds have shifted tiles or damaged your roofline, Levi provides prompt emergency response across Swanley and the wider district. Our priority is to secure the property through professional tarping and temporary containment, preventing further internal water damage. Once the weather subsides, we return to carry out a comprehensive assessment and a permanent, high-quality repair to restore your roof’s full integrity.

03

Specialist Leadwork and Chimney Weathering

Many leaks around chimneys and valleys are caused by perished or poorly installed leadwork. Over time, lead flashings can pull away from brickwork due to thermal expansion or mortar decay. We specialise in replacing traditional Code 4 and Code 5 leadwork, ensuring that all step flashings, aprons, and valleys are correctly dressed and weather-sealed. If your chimney stack is showing signs of spalling brickwork or cracked flaunching, we also provide professional repointing services to stop water from tracking down the chimney breast and into your living space.

Roof Leak Diagnostics & Advice

Roof Leak Repair FAQs for Snodland & ME6

Practical, trade-tested answers from sole trader Levi King on locating water tracking, emergency storm make-safe measures, and resolving pitched and flat roof leaks across Snodland and Aylesford.

How quickly can you attend to an emergency roof leak in Snodland?

+

I aim to respond to emergency calls in the ME6 area as quickly as possible. Because I am based nearby in Ditton, I can usually be on-site shortly after your call to assess the damage and install temporary waterproofing, such as heavy-duty tarpaulins, to stop water from damaging your furniture and electrics.

Why is water appearing in my bedroom when the leak seems to be over the landing?

+

This is a classic case of water tracking. Water enters through a gap in the tiles or a cracked chimney flashing and then runs down a timber rafter or along the top of the ceiling plaster until it finds a low point or a light fitting to drip through. Part of my service involves tracing the moisture back to the actual entry point, not just patching where the drip is.

Can you fix a single leaking Kent peg tile?

+

Yes. I handle all sizes of jobs, from replacing a few slipped Kent peg tiles or slates to complete re-roofs. Many larger companies won't bother with small repairs, but I know that fixing a minor leak now prevents a very expensive problem in the future.

What is the most common cause of flat roof leaks in Snodland?

+

Most flat roof leaks I see are caused by "ponding" water on old felt roofs. Over time, the sun blisters the felt and the winter frost cracks it. Eventually, the water finds a way through the seams. I often recommend EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass as a long-term solution because they don't have those vulnerable seams.

Will I need a full new roof if I have a leak?

+

Not necessarily. Most leaks are caused by specific failures like a cracked tile, a perished lead valley, or a blocked gutter. I will always try to provide a cost-effective repair first. I only recommend a full roof replacement if the underlying felt and battens have reached the end of their lifespan and are no longer structural.

How do I know if my chimney leadwork needs repairing?

+

If you see damp patches on the breast of the chimney inside your house, or if you can see lead tucked into the brickwork that looks loose or distorted from the ground, it likely needs attention. I can inspect the lead aprons and step flashings to ensure they are still deeply bedded into the mortar joints.

Do you provide photographic evidence of the roof damage?

+

Yes, I always take photos of the problem area while I am on the roof. This allows you to see exactly what is wrong without having to climb a ladder yourself. I can also provide "after" photos so you have a record of the repair for your own peace of mind or for insurance purposes.
