Does a leak mean I need a new roof?
No. Many leaks are localised, although overall roof condition still matters.

Roof leaking when it rains: what should you do?
Roof leaks can enter at one point and appear somewhere else inside. Wind direction, rainfall intensity, flashings, coverings, gutters and penetrations can all affect symptoms.
What to do next
A sensible first check
✓ Move belongings away from active internal water where safe
✓ Photograph staining and visible damage from safe locations
✓ Record whether wind direction or heavy rain changes the leak
✓ Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof
When should you act?
Active leaks near electrics, ceilings that are bulging with water, or rapidly worsening ingress need urgent attention.
This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.

Common questions
Why can a roofer not diagnose the leak from the stain?
Water can travel before appearing internally, so the entry point may be elsewhere.
