Roofs

The roof of any building is a vital part of a building and because of its location ‘out of site out of mind’ it is probably the most vulnerable part of a building.

Your roof is designed to be a sacrificial part of the building; being subject to all weather conditions it may need replacing several times during the life of a building and some parts of the roof will need replacing several times during the life of a roof, preventative maintenance and repairs carried out by competent roofers can prolong the life of your roof.

Loose flashings, blocked gutters or a slipped tile that can be repaired quite easily are often left far too long which can result in unnecessary damage and costly restoration work.

If you own a building or you are in charge of the upkeep of a building then it is essential that you find a reliable roofing repairs contractor like Britton Roofing that are experienced in the preservation of roofs, knowledgeable about the type of materials that should be used for your building and competent in carrying out specialist repair work.

Roof checklist

  • Damp patches on walls or ceiling
  • Dripping gutters
  • Moss or growth especially around gutters and intersections including valleys, box channels and ridge tiles
  • Loose mortar: you can often see missing mortar to ridge tiles, valleys and around chimneys you may find parts of mortar or broken tiles on the ground
  • Flaking fascia boarding: it is worth getting this looked at by an experienced roofer; it could just be that they need re painting but it may be due to water ingress which could be rotting the timbers that are out of sight and this should not be left.
