Why bay roofs fail often
A bay roof's low pitch means water sits and drains more slowly than on a steep main roof, so any weak point in the lead has more opportunity to let water in.
Common on Bristol's period properties
Bay windows are a defining feature of many Victorian and Edwardian Bristol streets, and their small lead roofs are one of the more common leak sources we're called out to on these properties.
Repair and renewal
Depending on condition, we can sometimes repair isolated damage on a bay roof, though full renewal is often more reliable given how compact and detail-heavy these roofs are.
