Can one slate be repaired?

Usually, yes, if the surrounding roof and fixings are sound and the slate can be reached safely. Access often costs more than the slate.

Can water travel before showing indoors?

Yes. It can run along felt, timber, masonry and plasterboard. The visible stain is often downhill from the entry point.

Does moss mean the roof is failing?

No. Heavy moss can affect drainage and conceal defects, but light growth alone does not prove the covering needs replacement.

Can a chimney leak without failed lead?

Yes. Pointing, flaunching, brickwork and condensation inside an unused flue can all produce damp around a stack.
