Many older slate roofs in Glasgow and Ayrshire still have years left in them. Here's how to tell whether yours needs a repair to slates, flashing and valleys, or a full new roof.
Guttering
Overflowing gutters, dripping joints and damp patches on walls are early warnings. Learn what to look for after heavy rain, and when a reseal or new guttering is the answer.
Storm advice
A wet, stormy winter is forecast. What to check from the roof and gutters to the render, pipes and garden fence, what insurance will cover, and what to do after a storm.
