Customer Advice

As winter approaches, weather conditions become harsh. It is never too late to check your property for signs of damage. The roof should be checked thoroughly at this time of year as bad weather and storms will be coming. It is not easy to make a full inspection yourself, but you will be surprised how many people fail to see loose tiles or an erroded chimney. Only the keen eye of a builder or roofer can usually spot problems that really need attention before a storm rips your property apart.

If you feel your roof is not quite right or you can see tiles out of place, don't hestitate to call our Customer Advice line and we can make a quick inspection. Have peace of mind over the winter months instead of a possible stressful christmas time.

Here are some pointers:

• Check all roof tiles are secure and there are no slipped tiles or slates.
• Check chimney flashing is secure and not loose.
• If not in use you should cap your chimney.Having your chimney capped prevents high winds, rain, and birds coming down chimney pots.
• Check your chimney pots and cowls are safe and not loose.
• Ridge tiles are the most important of all, these are the tiles that cover all of the top of your roof. It is imperitive these tiles are on a good firm cement bed.

Beware of rogue traders

You've seen them on TV, you've heard about dodgy builders and roofers making a little problem into a big problem and eventually running up bills for work that isn't necessary. Dont let it happen to you.
