Here our team at Smile Roofing discusses the warning signs your property may present you with when something is wrong with the roofing structure. We don’t advise putting any of these on the long finger as that could lead to expensive replacements when smaller repairs might have initially sufficed.
Visible from ground level, a sagging roof looks unappealing for potential property buyers and, if you are considering putting your Salisbury home or premises up for sale, may not pass a surveyor’s inspection. It’s a sure sign of structural damage and should be replaced immediately by professional roofing contractors.
Designed to secure any joins and seams in the roofing structure, such as around the chimney stack, roof vents, or skylights, failing leadwork should be repaired or replaced without delay. By guiding water away from these areas, lead flashings play an important role in any roofing structure and shouldn’t be allowed to fail.
Is there a significant amount of light visible through the roof? When standing in the attic, can you see the sky? Or, if you leave a light on inside and look up from ground level, is it evident? Either issue indicates you’ve a loose or missing roof tile or a crack in the roofing membrane. Gaps of any kind will lead to leaks and, if ignored, rotting timbers and mould.
Capable of withstanding extreme weathers when installed correctly, excess weight gathering in the guttering system could cause it to break away from the fascias. If this occurs both will need replacement. However, it’s worth noting what has caused the extra weight as it could be deteriorating parts of your roofline or shingles.
Both are unsightly and, if allowed to grow unaided, they can force roof tiles to break apart. As moss will hold a significant amount of water as well, this could begin to seep into your attic space and spread the mould around your Salisbury property. If your roof is fully or partially covered in moss, you may need to consider replacing it.
These can easily become loose or damaged following harsh weather conditions, no matter how durable the material. Falling debris, for example, could jar a tile and cause it to shift slightly and leave a gap in the roofing structure. If not reinstated or replaced, you’re leaving your roof’s interior open to water ingress and internal damage.
With over two decades of experience between our leadwork specialists and roofing contractors at Smile Roofing, we’re available 24/7 for all your roofing needs. From flat to pitched roofs, fascias to guttering, we carry out new installations and repairs on all forms of domestic and commercial properties.
