Common roof problems in Croydon
Croydon spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar semis and a large number of flats. On the older terraces, natural slate behind parapets is common, and the parapet gutter is frequently the real cause behind a bedroom ceiling stain.
Slate roofs fail through nail fatigue long before the slate itself wears out. Slates start slipping one at a time with no visible damage, which means the fixings have corroded rather than anything having hit the roof.

When we come out
Roof repairs in Croydon: what we check
On Croydon's older terraces, the gutter hidden behind the front parapet is often the real cause of a bedroom leak. It cannot be seen from the street and it fills up with debris.
Slipping slates
Usually rusted nails, not broken slates.
Front and back
The two slopes often age differently.

Croydon questions
Croydon roofing FAQ
Slates keep slipping off one at a time. Why?
Almost always corroded nails, known as nail sickness. Refixing individual slates works for a while and then stops. At that point a slope-by-slope re-slate is usually the honest recommendation.
