Residential Roofing

Structural Decay

There are a number of reasons that your residential roof might suffer structural defects. These issues might arise because of woodworm, roof spread and wet or dry rot. We often encounter instances where residential defects have been caused by alterations to the original structure of the building. For example, a load bearing wall might have been removed. You can spot indicators of structural movement in your home; keep your eyes peeled for cracking, bowing or leaning walls. Any of these signs could be reason to call a professional that has a technical understanding of the problem at hand.

Fire Damage

Damage from a fire in your home and to your roof can range in severity. It could be that you suffer the minor inconvenience of smoke odors in your household, to the total loss of a building and its contents. However, even small fires have the capacity to cause severe damage and increase repair costs. A fire at your home can affect the structure and contents of the roof. We will always go that bit further to ensure your roof is restored to its pre-fire condition. Moreover, we will ensure that you have taken all precautions necessary to protect your roof from future fire damage.

Flashing

Residential roofs are often made up of a variety of materials tasked with preventing water from entering the interior of a home. Flashing refers to thin pieces of material installed to prevent the passage of water; the last line of defence against water penetration. The materials we select for this purpose are durable, low in maintenance requirements, weather resistant and compatible with adjacent material. The installation and repair of flashing material, like sheet metal, requires experience and can be time consuming. However, our time-tested techniques ensure that this is done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
