Making selective repairs to a roof is the most cost effective method of extending the lifespan of your roof.
Leaks may be due to holes in the sarking felt. This may be caused by old age, birds or vermin.
A prolonged leak will have also damaged the battens. So the work involves carefully lifting the existing tiles, replacing the battens and old felt with new waterproof membrane and then replacing the tiles.
Find the source of the leak and fix it!
