Roofing Services

Try to keep your roof, gutters and downcomers in a good condition to prevent rain from penetrating the waterproof skin of your home. Defective weatherproofing allows rainwater ingress that can lead to expensive remedial work to the structural timbers (wet-rot) and any decorative wall, floor and ceiling finishes, not designed for damp conditions.

Replace or repair damaged roof tiles or flat roof coverings as soon as possible to minimise the damage caused by rain ingress.

Gutters and downcomers should allow rain water to drain away efficiently; removing excess water away from your roof and walls. Breaks and blockages can cause areas of moss/algae growth on walls that may eventually lead to penetrating dampness.
