Roof Maintenance Preston: Fix Small Faults Before They Grow
What roof maintenance covers
- Clearing debris from the roof, valleys and gutters.
- Securing slipped or loose tiles and slates, and replacing cracked ones.
- Checking ridge and hip tiles and the mortar they're bedded on.
- Checking lead flashing around chimneys, walls and roof windows.
- Checking the chimney for loose pots, cracked flaunching and worn pointing.
- Checking flat roofs for splits, blisters and ponding water.
- Checking gutters and downpipes are clear and fixed securely.
If we find anything bigger than a small fix, we'll explain it and quote before doing the work.
Why maintenance is worth it
A roof gets the worst of the weather all year. Small faults are cheap to fix. The same faults left through a winter can soak insulation, rot timbers and stain ceilings. For older homes, Historic England has practical advice on maintaining and repairing an older home, including roofs.
When to book roof maintenance
- Before winter, to deal with anything loose before the storms.
- After a storm or high winds, even if you can't see damage from the ground.
- Once leaves have fallen, if you have trees near the house.
- If you're a landlord, as part of looking after your properties.
Maintenance, inspection or repair?
