Roofing in Eros
Eros roofs have usually been worked on before, sometimes several times, by different hands. A large part of the job here is reading what previous repairs were trying to solve and whether they made things worse.
The suburb also has a good number of extensions and enclosed patios, and the join between the original roof and the newer section is a reliable source of leaks.

What actually goes wrong in Eros
Layered patch repairs
Sealant over sealant over a flashing that was never right. These stack up until nobody can tell where the water enters. Stripping back to a sound detail is often quicker than another patch.
Extension tie-ins
Where a patio roof or added room meets the original house, the flashing has to handle a change in pitch, material or both. This is the most common Eros leak we are asked about.
Tired flashings and cappings
Metal flashings at parapets and gable ends fatigue and lift at the fixings. Wind then works them further open each storm season.
