Why looking after the roofline of your property is simply essential…

Your home is the place where you should feel safe from all kinds of harm, including the stress of weather.

From rain to ice, snow, glaring sunshine and wind, the four walls and roof of a building will be able to withstand all kinds of weather. Winds have to be incredibly strong before they start to dislodge roofs and tiles; the rain has to be prolonged, before an area floods. The snow has to fall for some time before it becomes a steep bank or drift.

But, your roofline and home can only protect you from the effects of bad weather when it is tip-top condition… and this reason alone should be enough to convince you to walk outside and take a look at your roofline, right NOW!

But, what are you looking at and what are your looking for?

The roofline is, as the name suggests, the component parts that seal the edge of your roof. Without these component parts, your roof would not function as well as it does. For example…

Rain off – when it rains, the raised section of roof is shaped in such a way that the water can runoff quickly. This way the interior fabric of the building is not compromised by getting wet, and neither is there pooling water which can is heavy; again, this can cause problems.

The roofline on the vast majority of homes and businesses will have guttering; this roofline component channels the water away from the building, as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Moist air out – as we live in our homes, from cooking the evening meal to sleeping at night, we naturally create moisture within the home. The levels of this are not normally noticeable but in some homes, they can be. This may point to a problem with the roofline of a property.

Some component parts of the roofline are important in allowing air to circulate within the roof space. If this soffit, fixed to the underside of the roof edge and the inner roof structure is replaced with a non-ventilated segment then the moist air has nowhere to go. Thus, it hangs around within the loft space; over time, this will build up and possibly start causing problems.

In your examination of the roofline on your property, you are looking for damage or parts that seem unstable etc.

Loose, bent or missing guttering is one aspect of a roofline that would need dealing with; any fascia boards to which the guttering is attached to may be made from wood and these can rot, losing their strength over time. Any parts that you think are missing or need repair are all worth investigating further.

The roofline on your home does more than you think, so take good care of it!
