Age
No roof lasts forever. The majority of modern installations are designed to last a significant amount of time but, depending on the quality of the tiles or flat roofing and the workmanship, a new roof might be the answer.
Damaged Tiles
If broken pieces of tile are falling into the guttering, then the issue requires addressing immediately. This is a sign the entire roof is beginning to deteriorate. If the guttering gets blocked as a result, you risk internal water damage as well.
Leakage
Leaks are major indicators that something needs to be addressed. Usually a single tile replacement, patch work or flashing repair is required, but letting the leak continue will cause internal damage to your West Bridgford property.
Light
From the attic space in your Derby, West Bridgwater, Ashby De La Zouch, Burton upon Trent or Loughborough home, can you see light shining through the roof? If so, the tiles or flat roof may have cracks, holes or tears. A properly installed roof will not permit any light to penetrate it.
Mould
Look out for an accumulation of mould, moss or algae on the roof. Any signs that these are present may indicate rotting which means roof replacements are required. The mould can spread into the interior if not addressed.
Pooling
Sitting water on flat roofs shows poor drainage and will lead to sagging and the build up of mould if not addressed. We ensure our flat roofs are installed at an angle of just over 1° to guarantee proper drainage.
Sagging
Check both interior and exterior aspects of your roof for signs of sagging. This could indicate structural damage which will require immediate attention. Ignoring this may lead to partial collapse and major, and expensive, renovation works.
