Why Consider Re-Roofing?
Re-roofing is an important investment in your property. It provides better protection against weather, with modern materials offering improved resistance to rain, wind, and sun damage, preventing water leaks and structural issues. A new roof can improve your home’s energy efficiency, potentially reducing your energy costs by up to 15-20%. Re-roofing also increases your property’s appearance and market value, often providing a return on investment of 60-70%.
Modern roofing materials are more resilient, with many offering better fire and impact resistance, and even algae-prevention properties. We can address underlying problems like sagging or rotted timbers, ensuring your entire roof system is sound. Additionally, older roofs may not meet current building codes.
Comprehensive Roof Assessment
Before recommending re-roofing, we perform a thorough inspection of your existing roof. This includes an external check for visible damage and potential weak points, as well as an internal inspection of your attic space for signs of water entry, poor ventilation, or structural issues.
When necessary, we use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture or heat loss areas. Our experts evaluate the condition and expected lifespan of your current roofing materials and check the integrity of your roof’s supporting structure. Following the assessment, we provide a detailed report of our findings and recommendations, along with a clear, itemised quote for any necessary work.
