Re-Roofing Motherwell

Roofline Glasgow provides a re-roofing service to the Motherwell area.

If you’re a homeowner in the UK, you may have heard of re-roofing but aren’t sure when it might be necessary. In this article, we cover the common signs that indicate your home may require re-roofing and what the process involves.

Re-roofing is essential to protect your home and contents from the elements. This can create a haven for mould, rot, and other serious problems. Most roofs will last 10 to 40 years, depending on the location and materials used. During this time, wind and rain can cause water to leak inside the building and cause soft spots or damp patches.

When a roof has come to the end of its life, it’s essential to get it re-roofed as soon as possible to maintain structural integrity as well as protect against further water damage. Here are some common signs of roof deterioration that could indicate that it’s time for a new roof:

• Moss growing on or between tiles
• Erosion where tiles have cracked
• Missing tiles (check after heavy storms)
• Frozen gutters due to blocked drains
• Cracked flaunching at the ridge tile (the highest point of the roof)
• Leaking ceilings during heavy rain

Sometimes more severe damage is only visible from inspection by a qualified professional – but even minor signs like missing tiles should be addressed quickly before any extensive repairs are needed due to water damage or rot.

If you notice any of these issues, contact us today as we specialise in re-roofing services so we can give you an assessment without delay. Roofers with experience in this area will provide an estimate based on their findings, which typically considers materials needed, including felt underlayment, flashing, nails and other components required for waterproofing.
