FAQs
What does “pinpoint leak repair” mean for my roof in Speedwell?
Pinpoint leak repair is a targeted service that uses specialized diagnostic tools—such as thermal imaging, moisture meters, and tracer dyes—to locate the exact source of water infiltration. Instead of removing large roof sections, we isolate the defect, fix only the affected area, and preserve the surrounding materials. This approach minimizes disruption, reduces cost, and extends the life of your existing roof.
How do you locate a hard-to-find roof leak?
Our technicians follow a multi-step process: (1) Visual inspection inside the attic and on the roof surface for stains or damaged shingles; (2) Moisture mapping with infrared cameras to reveal hidden damp spots; (3) Controlled water testing to recreate the leak path; and (4) Use of electronic leak detection when dealing with flat or low-slope membranes. Combining these methods allows us to confirm the exact penetration point before any repair begins.
How long does a pinpoint leak repair typically take?
Most pinpoint repairs in Speedwell are completed the same day. A simple shingle replacement or flashing reseal usually takes 1–3 hours. Complex leaks involving multiple layers or hidden decking damage may require 4–6 hours. We provide a precise timeline once we finish diagnostics so you know exactly what to expect.
Is pinpoint repair cheaper than a full roof replacement?
Yes. Because we only address the leak’s source, material and labor costs are a fraction of what a full replacement would be. Typical pinpoint repairs range from £150–£600 (or $200–$750) depending on roof type and damage extent, whereas a complete reroof could run into the thousands. However, if your roof is near the end of its lifespan or has widespread issues, we’ll explain when replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option.
Will the repaired area blend in with the rest of my roof?
We stock shingles, tiles, and sealants that match local Speedwell roofing styles and manufacturer colors. While new materials may look slightly fresher at first, normal weathering usually evens out within a few months. If an exact cosmetic match isn’t possible—common with discontinued products—we’ll discuss alternatives such as strategically relocating existing shingles from a less visible area to the repair site.
Do you offer warranties or emergency services for leak repairs?
Absolutely. All pinpoint leak repairs come with a written workmanship warranty that ranges from 1–5 years, depending on the repair type. Material warranties are honored in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms. We also provide 24/7 emergency call-outs in Speedwell, aiming to arrive within 2 hours to perform temporary weatherproofing until a permanent fix can be scheduled.
