Had our UPVC window frames, gutters, soffits & facias cleaned by Chris & he did a fab job. I’ve used Wonderwhite in previous years & they’ve always done a great job & at a reasonable price. I would recommend.
ROOF REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT
Roof Repairs and Replacments
In West Yorkshire and the UK, it’s rare we experience severe weather conditions such as tornados and hurricanes. However, the weather we do experience affects your roof in a variety of different ways and it’s important to keep on top of roof maintenance to reduce the likelihood of needing expensive roof repairs on your property.
Our seasonal weather is quite typical, fresh temperatures and blue skies during the autumn and spring, the warmth of the summer sun and the cold, dark, frosty winters. All of which can have an adverse effect on the health of our roofs. Make sure your seasonal to-do list includes checking over your roof, both inside and out, adding additional checks when the weather has been particularly intense.
At Wonderwhite, our staff have been repairing and installing roofs for decades and have the experience to carry out roof repair on a variety of roof and property types and structures. Get in touch with our friendly, knowledgeable team
How Hot Weather Affects a Roof
If you have a roof older than ten years or an unventilated attic space, known as a ‘Hot Roof’, talk to wonderwhite roof repair company about the benefits of a new roof or additional insulation. Advantages of investing in a roof include improved energy bills, better insulation against lost heat and improvement of airflow ventilation around your roof. One of the greatest threats during the summer is the risk of thermal shock on roof. When temperatures reach higher than average during the day but drop off rapidly at night. This extreme change can cause your roof to expand and contract within a short time frame affecting the structural integrity and on some occasions, leading to warping.
As many roofs are unshaded, there is no level of protection between your roof and the UV rays from the sun. Exposure can dry out your roof causing shrinkage as well as wood structures to bleach and weaken, even cracking. Tiles that face long exposure to daily high summer temperatures can begin to buckle or split and the joins between tiles can become looser as shrinkage occurs.
Keep Your Roof Maintained Professionally
Rain is the most common weather experienced in the UK . Make sure your roof can drain properly. Keep guttering clear of leaves and debris to prevent overflowing or blockages. You should also check that your downpipes are centred over drains with leaks or spills.
Doing roof repairs and replacements yourself can be very dangerous and life threatening. With that in mind, it is always safer to call Wonderwhite roof repairs and replacementswhen you don’t feel confident in carrying out checks or performing maintenance yourself.
