How weather can affect your roof
Rain, wind, frost and temperature changes can expose weaknesses in roof coverings, flashing and guttering. Durn Building undertakes roofing repairs and maintenance in Tewkesbury and the surrounding Gloucestershire and Worcestershire area.
Rain and drainage
Water staining, persistent leaks and overflowing gutters deserve investigation. Damaged coverings, blocked outlets or poor roof falls can allow water to enter the building. The source of a leak is not always directly above the visible stain.
Wind and storm damage
Strong winds can dislodge tiles, slates and flashing. Check from a safe ground-level position after severe weather and arrange an inspection if you notice missing materials or debris.
Frost and changing temperatures
Freeze-thaw cycles and repeated expansion and contraction can affect weathered materials and joints. The condition of the roof, its detailing and the materials used all influence performance.
When to ask for advice
Contact a roofer if you notice a leak, damaged tiles, loose flashing or deteriorating gutters. Avoid climbing onto a roof to inspect it yourself.
