As we head into spring, the time for spring cleaning has come – and something else that is great to do at this time of the year is to check your roof. There are many issues that winter can cause for your roof, so once the worst of the winter weather is over and spring starts to return, it is a good idea to get a professional like this roofing Gloucester based company www.sovereignroofing.uk/ to come and give your roof a check to look for signs of damage.
Here are some of the things they may look for…
Missing Tiles – When there is bad weather this can lead to tiles coming off the roof. When tiles come off, they leave the roof more vulnerable to damage and also can cause the roof to leak if tiles are not there to protect it, so they need to be replaced.
Moss – Moss naturally starts to grow on a roof after many years, and although a little bit is unlikely to cause a problem if you have a lot of moss growing it can grow between tiles and cause them to come loose and also it can blow into the gutter and block it.
Leaks – A roofer is also likely to inspect the roof internally too as this is a good way to find out if there are any leaks in the roof which can cause significant damage to your home. If a leak is found it needs to be dealt with immediately as it can cause problems like damp as well as potentially be dangerous if it gets into your electrics.
