Having a new roof installed is a wonderful thing, it can set the look of a home or business, and help protect everyone and everything beneath it. But what happens if you don’t take care of your new investment? A roof, just like any other element of your home or commercial premises, needs to be well taken care of in order to prevent it from malfunctioning and costing you a lot of money in repairs. In fact, we’d go so far as to say that preventative measures for your roof are essential for its longevity, and without them, you could slash the lifespan of your roof by many, many years.
Preventative measures include regular roof inspections by a qualified contractor, general inspections carried out by the homeowner at regular intervals – and especially after a storm or extreme weather event – and timely repairs of any issues such as leaks and missing slates. Protect your roof by having it regularly inspected While there are certain inspections you can carry out yourself from ground level (it generally isn’t safe to climb a ladder and get up on your roof unless you know what you’re doing, and what you should be looking for), twice yearly thorough roof inspections should be carried out by a professional roofing contractor, and will identify any existing issues with the roof, or any potential problems that could develop into something worse over time.
Inspections of course don’t come for free, but they can prove invaluable at saving you money in the long term, especially if you can spot and fix issues before they turn into major repair works. Get all problems fixed as quickly as possible There are few (if any) maintenance projects that can be delayed once they’ve been identified, and if you notice a leak, see any tiles missing, or spot any flashing that has come loose, you should arrange to have the problem repaired as soon as possible. No roofing problem will fix itself, and typically, small problems may start little, but will inevitably grow to become bigger problems.
Always use a professional roofing company You might be tempted by an offer of cut-price work from an out-of-town contractor who claims to be able to fix your roof at a tempting price, and in record time, but rarely is this a wise move. A local roofer who understands the area and the specific weather challenges faced there, for example, is always going to be the better person for the job, and while you might pay a little more for their service, you’ll be guaranteed a quality job from a roofer who isn’t just in town to make a quick buck.
Preventative measures for your roof should be par for the course, and can help keep your roof in its best condition for many years to come. With regular inspections, quality repair jobs and a keen eye for any changes to your roofs performance, you can help your roof last as long as your home or business.
