Inspecting your roof helps catch any small problems before they become severe. This can save a lot of time, money and stress in the long term. We advise customers to inspect their roofs at least twice a year and after storms. Our roofing contractors are happy to inspect your roof and provide a breakdown of any issues and recommended roof repairs, such as tile replacements. You can also inspect your roof yourself and call us if you need roof or chimney repairs or a guttering replacement.
Things to look for include:
Organic matter like leaves, twigs and moss often builds up on rooftops in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding areas. While these things may seem harmless, they can hold onto moisture, increasing the chance of water ingress and internal damp.
If trees are next to your property, it’s important to cut them back so branches don’t hang over the roof. Overhanging branches keep the roof in the shade, helping moss and algae grow. As well as holding onto moisture, moss can grow between tiles and dislodge them. This is a common cause of leaks in pitched roofing. Furthermore, overhanging branches can easily knock into or fall onto the roof in strong winds, risking sudden damage.
Gutters play a crucial role in channelling rainwater away from the property. This minimises the risk of water ingress and protects the foundations. However, our roofing contractors see so many gutters that are clogged, blocked, broken, leaking or poorly installed.
Keeping your gutters clear and flowing properly is an easy way to protect your home and keep it in good condition. Removing debris also helps prevent pest infestations and the subsequent damage caused by insects, birds or rodents.
