One of the most important parts of your home or business premises. A leaking or insecure roof can lead to long-term problems such as rotten timbers or other structural damage. Many homeowners make the mistake of spending time and money on internal refurbishment while neglecting the basic covering of the building. A sound roof is essential for protecting your property and maintaining its value.

Buying a Property

If you are moving house or considering buying one, the condition of the roof will be an important consideration. Your surveyor will usually comment on this in their report. Surveyors can sometimes be quite negative however, and may not always cover all the details. We can look at the roof and give you a fair and impartial assessment, together with a detailed quotation for any work. A small charge is made for this service when buying a property.

Roof Repairs – Planned

We provide a call out service to deal with storm damage or other emergencies and will put any necessary temporary measures in place to protect your property. We can then do a more detailed assessment to help you with any insurance claims and get your roof fixed. A call out charge is payable, but we will not seek to make things worse by hitting you with unreasonable charges. Making your roof sound should be your first priority – please call us as soon as possible. We would advise you to check your insurance policy, as it may not cover all the costs.

Roof Replacement

Many roofs can be kept going almost indefinitely with ongoing maintenance. However there comes a time when repeated repairs are no longer viable, and you will need to consider a replacement. There will usually be an undesirable level of dampness within the roof space, which can lead to problems with timbers and rot. There is also the risk that a severe storm may expose any weaknesses over night and leave you with a major leak to deal with. A new roof is a major investment, but will add value to your property and save you money in the longer term. It makes sense to sort out your roof before spending large amounts of money on internal refurbishment. Most mortgage lenders will be sympathetic to releasing funds for this type of work, as you are protecting the value of your investment.
