In the United Kingdom we often get very inclement weather where the wind picks up, the rain falls heavily and we need to prepare ourselves for a storm. At times like this, it is better to stay indoors and ride out the storm and let your house do what it was designed to do- protect you and your family.
After the storm we have a look around the exterior of the house checking windows and doors to check for damage. What many of us fail to do however is to look up and take a look at the roof. There could be a lot going on up there that you can’t see and there could be a crack or even a hole in your roof. At times like these, you need someone who does emergency domestic roofing in Harrogate.
These roofing experts offer many services. Let’s explore some of them here.
- During the storm it is quite possible that a tile or a slate has come loose and this will allow the water to maybe penetrate the felt and cause a leak. You need to get this addressed as soon as possible before the water gets into the roof space.
- Ridge tiles can also come loose so you need to be able to get these rebedded and pointed quickly as time is of the essence. Your roof is what is protecting the rest of your home and so needs to be taken care of.
- After a storm leaves and twigs get stuck in your guttering and this stops the rain water from draining properly off the roof. This needed to be addressed so water doesn’t congregate on the roof.
If you have a roof emergency, call in the local roofing experts and let them fix any issues that may have arisen.
