Do You Need a New Roof?
Several telltale signs indicate it's time to consider a roof replacement. The most common are as follows:
-
Visible Damage
-
Water Ingress
-
Wear and Tear
-
Moss Growth
Visible Damage
Indicators include missing or broken shingles or tiles, exposed membranes, evidence of storm damage, fallen trees, damage caused by a fallen chimney, and rotting supporting timbers in the attic. It’s vital to regularly check your roof, both internally and externally, for signs that require attention.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so please call our roofing company if you think something might be wrong. We’ll conduct a thorough investigation and report our findings, instantly putting your mind at ease.
Water Ingress
If ignored, the damp and moisture buildup caused by the leak can lead to significant structural damage and health issues. Subtle signs you need to talk to us about reroofing are cracked and flaking timbers, mould growth on the walls and ceilings, powdery plaster, and peeling wallpaper.
The spores spread from damp and mould are hazardous when airborne, particularly in households where family members have underlying health concerns or respiratory problems.
Wear and Tear
Depending on the material used, standard roofs should last approximately 25 years. If yours is approaching or has already exceeded its expected lifespan, we strongly suggest you consider a proactive replacement and talk to us at Atlas Property Improvements about a new roof.
Excessive moss growth can trap moisture and accelerate roof deterioration. It may look characteristic outside of traditional cottages and heritage properties, but this sponge-like substance's weight can cause significant damage.
Full and Partial Reroofing Services
Our roofing contractors will inspect your existing roof to assess the damage or deterioration and determine the best action. We will then provide a detailed quote outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and cost.
Building permits might be required for reroofing projects depending on your location in the East Midlands. We’ll be happy to help you with this.
Once your property is safely secured, we’ll responsibly remove the old roof materials and inspect the underlying structure for any necessary repairs. The new roof will be installed according to the chosen material's specifications, including underlayment, flashing, and ventilation.
Upon completion, our team will thoroughly clean up the debris and conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is installed correctly.
