Your Oxfordshire property is one of the largest investments you will ever make. This not only includes the costs covered by your mortgage but also the money you spend on maintenance. Basic amenities such as plumbing and electrical work, as well as an array of other minor repairs, typically consume most of the allotted budget. As time-served roofing contractors, we strongly advise against neglecting your roof.
Hiring experienced roofers to install new pitched or flat roofing or make major roof repairs is expensive but essential. Our roofing company can tailor our approach to meet all your roofing needs, including ongoing maintenance and associated services.
If P & R Roofing Ltd has recently installed new flat roofing or updated the roofline system, or your current roof is still in good condition, you can prolong its lifespan by following the steps below.
The longer you make your roof last, the better the return on your initial investment. While you can’t eliminate roof repairs as a result of freak incidents, our roofing contractors recommend the following steps to maximising your structure’s lifecycle.
Clear gutters are key to a fully operational roofing system. Don’t allow debris to build up in your guttering. This slows the rate at which water drains away, increasing the chances of overflowing, damage and water ingress.
If you have trees growing near your Oxfordshire home, our roofing company advises keeping the branches trimmed back. This reduces the risk of damage during high winds and storms, as well as issues linked to fallen leaves.
With proper ventilation, cold air enters your loft and warm, humid air escapes. Insulation also absorbs heat. This system prevents water vapour accumulation that often leads to mould, rot and structural problems.
The most effective way to manage small issues is to have our roofers perform annual inspections. The more you understand your roof, the easier it is to monitor its performance and deterioration – and to schedule roof repairs.
The above list is by no means exhaustive. There are numerous other ways to preserve the condition of your pitched or flat roofing in Oxfordshire.
For example, our roofing contractors advise clearing vegetation such as moss and algae on a regular basis. If your flat roof suffers from pooling water, you must remove it. The added weight puts extra strain on the structure.
As a customer-focused roofing company, we’re always happy to provide advice and tips on maintenance. Please feel free to ask our roofers any such questions while we’re working at your property.
