Is it time to replace your roof?

Like all homeowners, you rely on your roof to keep your home dry and protected. If anything should go wrong and a leak appear, it could ruin your wall coverings, your flooring and even your possessions. If left unchecked, such as when you might be on holiday, it could even compromise the structural integrity of the whole house. For these reasons, it’s a good idea to arrange a check on the roof every once in a while.

If you look online, you’ll see a number of different viewpoints on how long a roof should last. Some sites say 20 years, some say 40, some say somewhere in between. There is no actual figure for every single property, of course, because there are a number of factors that can cause areas of a roof to deteriorate. One thing you can be sure of, however, is that no roof is guaranteed to never worsen.

One of the most common problems that can occur is with missing or damaged tiles. Even if one tile is not doing what it should, the effect on the home can be devastating. Therefore, replacement should be speedy and effective. Here at Tayside Construction, we have carried out immediate roof repairs on homes and business premises for a wide range of customers.

Small problems can soon lead to serious damage

But what if your roof is in a more serious condition? If you have any concerns at all, you should be contacting the specialists at the earliest opportunity. This is an issue that could potentially be nipped in the bud long before it becomes a major problem, so speed could be of the essence. If potential problems are left to develop, you could end up facing a full replacement, accompanied of course by a hefty financial outlay.

Some homeowners choose to carry out minor repairs themselves, and this can be a good idea if you have the right equipment and a head for heights. If you don’t like the idea of clambering across your roof, and many people really don’t, all you need to do is contact skilled, experienced specialists. It’s also worth noting that roofing experts from Tayside Construction can also check on the overall condition of your roof at the same time.

In the course of its lifetime, a roof will have had to withstand extremes of weather, potential damage from birds and possible exposure to chemicals in the air. It’s not difficult to see why the condition of your roof is of paramount importance.

The overall condition of your roof should not be underestimated, so make sure you pay attention to what it might be telling you.
