Worried about a leak or noticed something amiss with your roof? You're not alone. At Century Roofing and Building, we understand that roof repairs can be a bit of a mystery for homeowners. To help put your mind at ease, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions we get from customers across Kent, Surrey, Sussex and South London.

Spotting roof problems early can save you money and prevent bigger headaches down the line. Keep an eye out for these common warning signs:

• Damp patches or water stains indoors: This is a classic sign of a leak. Look for stains on ceilings, walls, or around windows, particularly after rain.
• Missing, cracked, or slipped tiles or slates: If you can safely see your roof, check for any damage. Even a few missing tiles can leave your roof vulnerable to the elements.
• Moss or algae growth: While a little moss might look quaint, excessive growth can trap moisture, damaging your roof over time.
• Sagging roofline: This is a serious issue and could indicate structural problems. If your roof looks like it's dipping or uneven, it's crucial to get it checked immediately.
• Damaged or overflowing gutters: Gutters play a vital role in directing water away from your property. If they are blocked, leaking, or damaged, it can lead to water damage to your roof and walls.
• Increased energy bills: Believe it or not, a damaged or poorly insulated roof can let heat escape in the winter and let too much heat in during the summer, pushing up your energy costs.
  If you spot any of these signs, it's best to get in touch with us for a professional roof inspection.
