How can I prevent moss and algae growth on my roof?2025-02-20T16:01:41+00:00

To prevent moss growth:

  • Keep gutters and valleys clear of debris.
  • Trim back overhanging trees to reduce shade and moisture.
  • Consider roof coatings or treatments that prevent moss build-up.

Regular roof maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your roof.

What are fascias and soffits, and why are they important?2025-02-20T16:01:14+00:00

Fascias support the guttering and protect the roof edges, while soffits provide ventilation and protect the roof structure. Damaged or rotting fascias and soffits can lead to leaks, damp, and pest infestations. We offer fascia and soffit replacements to keep your home protected.

What should I do if my guttering is overflowing?2025-02-20T16:00:33+00:00

Overflowing gutters are often caused by blockages, sagging sections, or improper drainage. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance services ensure your gutters are free of debris and working efficiently.

How can I improve my roof’s energy efficiency?2025-02-20T16:00:12+00:00

You can improve your roof’s energy efficiency by:

  • Upgrading insulation in your loft space.
  • Using reflective or insulated roofing materials.
  • Ensuring proper ventilation to prevent heat loss and condensation.
What is a dry ridge system, and should I consider one?2025-02-20T15:59:45+00:00

A dry ridge system is a modern alternative to cemented ridge tiles, using a mechanical fixing method for better durability, ventilation, and wind resistance. If you need ridge tile repairs or replacements, we recommend upgrading to a dry ridge system.

What type of roofing material is best for my home?2025-02-20T15:59:20+00:00

The best material depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and property type:

  • Slate roofing – Highly durable, elegant, and weather-resistant.
  • Tiled roofing – A cost-effective and traditional choice.
  • Flat roofing (EPDM, GRP) – Ideal for extensions, garages, and commercial buildings.
What is the lifespan of a typical roof?2025-02-20T15:58:53+00:00
  • Slate and tiled roofs – Can last over 50 years with proper maintenance.
  • Flat roofs (EPDM, GRP fibreglass, felt) – Typically last 20-40 years, depending on the material.
  • Lead roofs – Can last 100+ years if well maintained.
How often should my roof be inspected?2025-02-20T15:58:10+00:00

We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year and after severe weather conditions to identify potential issues before they become costly problems.

What are the most common causes of roof leaks?2025-02-20T15:55:27+00:00

Roof leaks are often caused by:

  • Cracked or missing tiles
  • Faulty lead flashing
  • Blocked gutters
  • Worn-out valleys or ridge tiles
  • Poor roof installation

Our roof repair services can quickly identify and fix any leaks.

How long does it take to install a new roof?2025-02-20T15:53:42+00:00

Most domestic roof installations take between 3-7 days, depending on the size and type of roof. Larger commercial roofing projects may take longer.

How much does a new roof cost?2025-02-20T15:53:18+00:00

The cost of a new roof depends on several factors, including roof size, material choice, and complexity. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can get an accurate estimate for your project.

How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?2025-02-20T15:46:46+00:00

If your roof has leaks, missing tiles, sagging areas, or visible damage, it may need repairs. However, if the roof is over 20-30 years old and experiencing recurring issues, a full replacement may be more cost-effective.
