The most expensive roof repair mistake in Ottery St Mary is fixing the wrong thing. A visible displaced tile is the symptom; the cause may be nail sickness affecting the whole slope, failed battens from sustained moisture, or lead flashing failure that has allowed water to track sideways and appear at a different point from the original entry. We carry out a written condition survey before every Ottery St Mary repair that distinguishes between isolated failure and systematic deterioration. The survey is free, takes 20–30 minutes, and determines whether a targeted repair or a planned re-roof within 3–5 years is the correct recommendation. Homeowners who skip the survey frequently pay for two or three repairs before accepting that the underlying condition has not been addressed.
