Many homeowners need help managing pitched or flat roof repairs, which can lead to extensive work, including reroofing and emergency roof replacements. At Atlas Property Improvements, our roofers manage seamless repairs and replacements. Maintenance is key to preventing further damage once our specialists have completed a replacement. For flat roof installations – such as EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and felt – and pitched roofs, our roofing company undertakes a range of roofing services in Loughborough and the other areas we cover to keep roofs healthy.
Here, we list a few ways for you to ensure your roof is healthy and to prevent damage:
Examining your roof before and after winter is key to ensuring its health. If you are uncomfortable accessing your roof, our roofing specialists can thoroughly and safely inspect your roof. If you decide to check it yourself, the signs you should look out for include:
If you notice these signs, it is important to undertake pitched or flat roof repairs immediately. If your roof is in disrepair, our roofing company also carries out chimney and leadwork repairs, patch repairs, emergency roof replacements and reroofing jobs in and around Loughborough.
Cleaning your gutters is typically considered boring and arduous, but it is necessary. Clean gutters mean that water can be properly dispelled and prevent issues such as leaks and water saturation. Further problems such as mould and rot can be prevented by preventing leaks.
When you are checking your gutters, or if you choose our specialist services, inspecting the fascias would also be beneficial. Ensuring fascias haven’t been damaged helps keep water from entering your home.
Tree branches can touch or rest on roofs, causing damage. During storms, branches can swing or fall, creating a hole in roofs or knocking some shingles off. Regularly trimming trees helps minimise the risk of damage. Trimming also discourages animals from entering buildings.
While fallen leaves and sticks may seem insignificant, they can encourage algae growth, damage roof tiles and trap water. You can handle this yourself or hire professionals to remove debris carefully.
Leaks often occur around the seals, joints, and flashing. Gaps can make homes in and around Loughborough vulnerable to the elements. Managing smaller roof repairs early on can minimise the need for emergency roof replacements and reroofing. Their lifespan can be greatly extended by choosing our roofing company to take care of your flat, tile, slate or rubber roofs.
