Common roofing issues

Your roof is a part of the house  that bears the Brunt of all winds and weathers.  It sits on the top of the house providing protection by keeping out cold winds and wet weather.  It needs to be rigid and strong and if there is an issue with the roof then you can find it can cause all kinds of damage and problems with the rest of the house.  These can be structural issues, if the leak is bad enough, but even a small one can damage soft furnishings and plaster work.

  1. Bad or no ventilation. If there is no ventilation to the roof then moisture will remain in the loft space.  Its moisture begins to build and can cause issues with the beams which can be extremely problematic.
  2. Poor guttering.  If the gutter is not aligned correctly with the roof then rain water can collect and seep through the tiling.
