Roof repairs and roofing
Our roof is our first line of defence against the rain, wind and snow. It keeps us warm and dry and is probably the most important part of our home. But it is all too easy to take it for granted. It's a case of 'out of sight out of mind'. When a piece of tile or fragments of mortar fall off our roof many of us might not even notice and others might be tempted to turn a blind eye.

We all need to give higher priority to the state of our roofs. Yours may have been well built but there have been significant advances in roofing technologies in the last few decades and many old roofs fall short of current building standards or have been inadequately patched up in the past. If water or damp gets into your roof timbers they can develop mould or rot and may even become infested by insects. This could mean that major repairs will be necessary or in the worst case scenario, the entire roof might need to be replaced.
If you arrange for a qualified roofer to give your roof a full health check you may be able to nip any problems in the bud and save money in the long run.
A good roofer can secure and strengthen areas that may have become weak or at risk, they can identify areas that may cause trouble in the future and offer their advice on how you should manage your roof from now on. They can clean and repair gullies and gutters, mend and replace fascias and soffits, possibly with PVC which is rot proof. Broken tiles can be replaced, ridge tiles and chimney stacks repointed and chimney flashing repaired; all jobs which can be tricky and dangerous even for the most intrepid DIY enthusiast. An expert roofer will also check out the state of your roof timbers and under-roof felting. They may offer a guarantee and arrange to come back periodically to check for any problems that might develop.
You might want to check if a roofing contractor is registered with the Flat Roofing Alliance. Although registration is voluntary, this Trade Association vets its members. In the event that you need a new roof you do need to make sure that whatever roofing system is installed you will be issued with a BBA (British Board of Agrément) certificate.
