Often, problems such as damp and leaks indicate the roofing tiles or slates are worn, cracked, or have slipped. Noticing leaks or damp early on and having them dealt with right away can result in simple tile or slate replacements to resolve the issues. However, if missing or worn roofing materials become an extensive problem that affects most of the structure, a replacement roof will be required to ensure your property remains safe and dry.
High volumes of rainwater and exposure to other harsh weather conditions like sleet or snow can have a significant impact on the functionality of any roof. Your Maidstone property may require a roof replacement in order to be kept safe and dry. Even with a working drainage system, moisture can seep into cracks or gaps, getting trapped in the roofing structure and eventually leading to the rafters and trusses sagging or, in some cases, to a total roof collapse.
Poorly installed rafters also heighten your roof’s risk of sagging. And it is not uncommon for old roofs to sag after decades of battling the elements.
New roofing will prevent a total collapse and ensure your property and interior are safe.
While a roofing inspection generally consists of a roofer climbing around the structure looking for issues with the exterior, it’s just as important to examine your roof from inside the property. If sunlight is able to shine through gaps in the decking, then your roof requires urgent attention. The decking will need to be replaced, and it’s often wise to replace the entire structure to ensure all materials are up to date and in the best possible working condition.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but if your roof has reached the end of its natural lifespan, it will need reroofing.
Whether your current roof has suffered weather-related damage, reached the end of its natural lifespan, started to sag or has gaps in the structure, it’s best to get new roofing installed by a professional roofing company.
At JTF Roofing Ltd, our quality installations will keep your Maidstone property safe and dry for many years to come.
