Protecting Your Home from Roof Leaks in Torrential Rain
9th December 2025

The recent torrential rain across Somerset has highlighted just how vulnerable roofs can be when winter storms hit. DP Roofing is warning homeowners that even small issues, such as slipped tiles, cracked flashing, or blocked gutters, can quickly turn into serious leaks if left unchecked.

Roof leaks not only cause visible damage, such as stained ceilings and damp walls, but can also lead to hidden problems like mould growth, timber rot, and compromised insulation. With heavy rainfall continuing, the risk of water entering the home increases dramatically, making timely inspections and repairs essential.

DP Roofing’s experienced team is advising property owners to look out for warning signs, including unusual water stains, dripping ceilings, or missing roof tiles.

 

DP Roofing can help homeowners with:

  • Roof inspections and surveys – Identify weak spots, slipped tiles, cracked flashing, or other damage before leaks occur.
  • Emergency roof repairs – Fast response to storm damage, leaks, or structural issues to prevent further harm.
  • Tile and slate replacement – Replace broken, missing, or damaged tiles to restore protection and prevent water ingress.
  • Preventative maintenance – Check insulation, flashing, and roof structure to reduce winter damage risk.
  • Storm damage assessments – Provide professional reports for insurance claims or repair planning.
