Roof Repairs
It is important to be aware of roof repairs as we all face roofing problems at one time or another.
The problem could be anything from a minor guttering issue to a major repair job. That’s why we
recommend that you call in a professional roofer which will save you money in the long run and
ensure that you get a good job done, right first time.
Replacing Roof Tiles
Replacing broken roof tiles is very important to your house because it stops potential leaks from occurring in your home. If left unattended these could lead to ceilings with water damage and electrical wires blowing. However, well maintained roof tiles will leave the beauty of the interior of your home intact.
New Roofs
There are two main reasons why new roofs are put on. The first is when the old roof is allowing water to come in because it is too badly damaged and beyond repair. The second is when problems keep occurring because the old tiles keep breaking.
Ridge Tiles Re-Bedded and Re-Pointed
Ridge tiles are important to maintain every 10 years or so. This is because over time the mortar in them starts to fall out and then the tiles can slip and come off the roof. Hopefully, not hurting anyone unfortunate enough to be below. Sometimes they can’t be re-pointed and need to be taken off, cleaned and re-bedded leaving your roof looking great.
Chimney Stacks, Pots & Ventilation
Chimney stacks being on top of roofs are very vulnerable to poor weather conditions. Therefore, if they are not looked after, they tend to fall apart and come down through the roof causing damage.
They should be checked regularly to see if their condition is deteriorating or not. Areas of damage to look out for are the lead flashing and pointing.
Repairs carried out on them will prevent any further dampness penetrating your home. Also if pointed right and benched with mortar on the top, then they will last for years.
All Aspects of Re-Pointing
Repointing brickwork is where deteriorated mortar is removed from the joints of a brick wall and replaced with new mortar. Some obvious signs of this deterioration are cracks in the mortar joints, loose bricks and the mortar itself easily coming out when scraped with something like a key.
We specialise in all types of re-pointing including weather struck pointing, tuck pointing, flush pointing and bucket pointing. When done correctly, pointing will last for some 30 years and prevent dampness from going through to the plaster in your home.
Guttering, Fascias & Soffits
Guttering allows rain water to be channelled from the roof down to ground level through a downpipe and then into the drainage system. You should inspect your guttering to ensure that debris like leaves don’t clog them up.
Clogging usually occurs at the elbow joint where the downpipe meets the gutter. This is a job that you can do yourself if you don’t mind heights and can do it safely. Otherwise call in a professional like Roofers in Birmingham for a quick and efficient job with a price that will make you smile. You can also have leaf guards fitted that will stop your gutters clogging unnecessarily by leaves.
Your home is under constant attack from the elements, keeping it looking good means maintaining the fascia boards (fit under the guttering) and soffits (flat boards under the fascia boards). These help to protect your roof rafters from the weather as they can be vulnerable to wood rot and fungus. If well maintained, they also help to make your roof look attractive.
Fixing Leaks
It is important to deal with a leak as soon as you find it, as this will prevent damage from spreading any further. However, if left unattended then leaks will cause the ceiling in your home to get wet and depending on their severity to come down. They can also lead to electrical wiring being shorted out. So the sooner you get it fixed the cheaper it will be for you and there will be less damage to deal with.
