Sudden seal failure
A failing joint can let go in heavy rain.
Covering Wrexham and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Neighbouring places we cover include Buckley (9 miles), Mold (10 miles), Deeside (11 miles).
