Surrey Roof Repair: How To Deal With Post-Winter Roof Damage?

It is equally torturous for humans and house roofs to endure the bitter winters in the United Kingdom. The importance of caring for your home and yourself cannot be overstated. That's why Barnes Pond Roofing recommends you opt for our excellent Surrey roof repairservice!
After the recent wet and cold winter in the UK, it might cost you an arm and a leg if your roof is damaged. Our team offers expertise when carrying out all our Surrey roofing service functions.
So, let’s find out how you can look for damages after a harsh winter before calling us for help!

How To Look For Post-Winter Damages

1. Inspect thoroughly

After the weather is clear, step out of your house to look for missing or cracked shingles, loose flashing (metal strips around edges), and any sagging in the roof. Check inside your attic for water stains or leaks.
You can’t do it from the ground, so you must climb a ladder or a tall stool. If you're not comfortable climbing on your roof, call a professional for help.

2. Clear debris (if any)

Leaves, branches, and other debris can look grotesque and trap moisture, causing roof damage. Carefully remove them using a rake or leaf blower, or hire a professional (like us!) if needed.

3. Check the gutters

Never overlook the gutters just because they’re dirty! Clogged gutters can lead to water backing up under the roof and causing leaks.
You can’t even imagine the smell that can radiate from something rotting inside the gutters! So, it is important that you make sure those gutters are clear and downspouts are directed away from your house.

4. Address all the issues

If you find any damage, don't delay! Get it fixed as soon as possible to prevent further problems. Give us a call for Surrey roof repair , or for major damage, consider a full roof replacement.
A full roof replacement will cost less than multiple issues like leakage, clogged gutters and broken roof structures!

Surrey Roof Repair - Dealing With The Damages

Now, let’s show you how we do it to make your roof good as new!

• 1. Clean gutters & make the roof leakage-proof - If the gutters are found clogged, we clean them to ensure smooth water flow and prevent further water damage. While looking for damaged or loose shingles, if you find some, we will replace or repair them promptly to maintain a watertight seal.
  
• 2. Cut out any overhanging branches - Snowstorms can cause nearby trees to throw out broken branches above roofs. If you have a garden with some climbing plants, they might get entangled during these storms and ruin the aesthetics. We will trim these and make them right for you.
  
• 3. Necessary woodwork or tile repair - Surrey roof repairconsists of thoroughly patching leakage holes or cracks on the roof with sealing materials. We will replace damaged roof tiles and carry out some woodwork if we see any rotten wood. We know exactly what we need to do.
  

In Case We Suggest A Full Roof Replacement…

Don't flinch at the suggestion! Let’s discuss the breakdowns of materials, labour costs, and warranties. We will be more than happy to clear out any doubt you may have.
If an event like a storm caused your roof damage, contact your insurance company first!
This is because they'll send an adjuster to assess the damage and determine coverage. Understand your policy's terms and any potential deductibles you must pay. Only after that, we can sit and discuss what repairs your house may need apart from the roof replacement.
Now, clear the area around your house for easy access. Move any furniture or belongings that could get damaged by falling debris. Cover valuable items inside the house with dust sheets.
Then, we will remove your old roof, install a new underlayment (protective layer), and lay the new roofing material. Be sure to communicate any concerns you have throughout the process.
Once the work is complete, we will do a final inspection with you. We will even clean your premises. The number of days (or hours) required to finish replacement may depend on the degree of damage and size of your house.
