Your Balgownie Roof Repair Service
The first sign you’re looking at a roof repair is often a leaking roof. When rain enters your home, it might appear suddenly during a large downpour or gradually creep in, unnoticed over time. Roof damage that is caught early and dealt with in straight away is usually a straightforward repair, but if left untreated, roof damage can result in more complex problems.
Our experienced Balgownie roof repair team can carry out a professional roof inspection and identify damage, providing advice and solutions.
For smaller, simple roof repairs, we provide a timely quote and arrange to come and carry out the work that’s required. If it’s more complex damage, we can still provide a temporary solution to prevent further damage occurring until the repair work is completed.
Common Causes of Roof Leaks
There can be all sorts of reasons why a roof leaks. Subtle indicators like marks on your walls might appear slowly over time, or a thunderstorm might bring significant volumes of water pouring in. Unfortunately, a lot of the Balgownie roof repairs we get called to have let water enter the roof for a while and it’s not before the damage becomes more obvious that the occupants realise. If it’s been more than 5 years since you’ve had a professional roofer up on your roof, we recommend booking in for a roof inspection. It is easier and more cost effective to deal with minor issues before they develop into big ones!
Common causes of roof leaks include:
- Damaged tiles. While terracotta and concrete roof tiles make great roofing materials, they do degrade over the years and can become cracked or dislodged.
- Blocked or inefficient gutters. When your guttering can’t direct water the way the system is designed to, water ends up where you don’t want it! A partially blocked gutter might be able to handle lighter rainfall, it will become overwhelmed with a heavy downpour. Uncontrolled runoff can end up entering the wall cavities and ceiling space.
- Ageing Properties. Most roofs last 20-25 years, if properly maintained. Old roofing materials, built up debris and the impact of the environment place wear and tear on your roof over time. As your property ages, maintenance costs go up, including the likelihood of needing roof repairs. Our Balgownie roof repair professionals can offer expertise on the best option for you. We offer a full roof restoration service if required.
