Roofing in Potters Bar: Local Context
Potters Bar's more suburban, semi-rural setting means a number of properties have larger roof areas and more exposed positions than tightly packed inner-London terraces, which can make storm and wind damage more of a factor after severe weather. Older housing stock in the town centre also means chimney and guttering work comes up regularly.
Common Signs
- Tiles or slates blown off or visibly displaced after a storm
- Debris from the roof found in the garden or street
- New leaks or damp patches appearing after severe weather
- Visible damage to chimney stacks, flashing or guttering
- A tree or branch that has fallen on or near the roof
