Residential Roof Maintenance in Hewelsfield

One of the most important areas of your home that requires regular maintenance is your roof, however, it is often overlooked by many homeowners. With the top of your roof being out of sight, it’s easy to let minor issues go unnoticed.  However, without regular maintenance, smaller problems such as a clogged gutter can turn into much more serious issues like a leaky roof. This can then result in water damage to your home and the need for roof repairs – both of which are more expensive to fix than the cost of regular maintenance. At Online Roofing Services, we provide specialist roof maintenance to homes in Hewelsfield. Get in touch with our team today to book in your next roof maintenance service.

Common Roof Issues

Unfortunately, the harsh British weather can take its toll on your roof, leading to issues such as:

• Clogged gutters

• Damaged drain components

• Missing Roof shingles

• Deterioration

Thankfully, preventative roof maintenance can reduce the likelihood of such issues from developing, reducing the risk of more serious problems from occurring and costing you less in the long run.

Another benefit of a well-maintained roof is the ability to keep your heating and cooling costs down as your roof is less likely to develop cracks that let heat escape from your home.

What Does Roof Maintenance Involve?

Checking for Internal Signs of Damage

Prior to climbing your roof, we will examine the interior of your property for any signs of damage such as drips, leaks, water stains or peeling paint.

We will also inspect the beams and trusses for signs of structural issues like rot, rust and cracking.   

Tidying and Cleaning

Once on top of your roof, we will unclog any blockages in your gutters and remove any accumulated dirt and debris on your roof. We will also make sure to trim back any overhanging tree branches to prevent them causing blockages in the future.

We will also remove any moss or algae growing on your roof with a special cleaning solution.

Once your roof is tidy, we will pressure wash your roof to reveal any potential damage that could be hidden under the dirt.  

Checking the Roof Surface

We’ll inspect the surface of your roof for any signs of damage or weathering, such as:

• Blistering

• Abrasions

• Cracks

• Scratches

• Holes in membrane

• Loose tiles or shingles

• Damaged tiles or shingles

• Missing tiles or shingles

• Loose flashings

• Cut, torn or loose expansion joins

Checking for Damage to External Structural Components

Whilst up on your roof, we will inspect the surfaces of your vents, chimney, skylights and pipes for any indication of ageing such as rot, rust or peeling paint as well as signs of structural damage like sagging or missing parts and bent elements.
