Owning a home is exciting but, unlike renting, you oversee the property’s maintenance. Looking after your home can be stressful and confusing if you don’t have experience. Up There Roofing has produced this useful guide to make things a little easier. New homeowners often forget about what’s overhead, but it is important to stay on top of flat or pitched roof repairs if you want to save time, money and stress later.
Whether you have pitched or flat roofing in Purley or the surrounding areas, our roofers help to keep it in excellent condition with services which include reroofing, gutter repairs, lead valley and leadwork repairs, soffit replacements and chimney repairs.
Here are some expert tips for anyone wanting to take proper care of their roof:
Regularly look at your roof from the ground, walking around the house and paying attention to things like missing or cracked tiles, moss growth and hanging or leaking gutters. If you have a lower roof you can see from a window, such as felt on a flat roofing structure like a garage, use this vantage point to keep an eye on the condition of the surface.
When you notice any problems, call our roofers for reactive roof repairs in Purley.
Some other common signs of roofing issues include:
We also advise customers in the Purley area to look for any nearby trees that overhang pitched or flat roofs, or which could grow to overhang. This can cause various problems, such as falling branches, which can damage tile, slate or flat roofing. Leaves block gutters and shade promotes moss growth.
To ensure overhanging trees don’t become an issue, seek the help of a roofer or a qualified tree surgeon.
One of the most important pieces of advice we can give new homeowners is to never delay roofing work. As soon as you notice a problem with a roof or a guttering system in Purley, contact the team at Up There Roofing. Our local roofers assess the damage and carry out roof repairs, gutter repairs or leadwork repairs. This saves you money over the long run because it stops small issues becoming serious and more expensive to fix.
For example, a missing tile or aged leadwork is easy to replace but, if you leave it, water will enter the roof to cause leaks and eventually results in structural damage to pitched and flat roofing. Also, if you don’t address chimney repairs, you could end up needing a full chimney rebuild. We cover a full range of roofing work, including:
