The Roofing Contractor For You

Attention to good roof maintenance is something no responsible homeowner would ever neglect. Here in the UK our houses are under frequent attack from wind and rain, and it’s the roof that forms the first line of defence. It’s vital therefore that any problems with your roof be addressed promptly before they cause further damage. That’s why it’s a good idea to cast an eye over the condition of your roof from time to time. It only takes a couple of minutes.

You could start by looking at the ridge tiles on the apex. Are they straight and level with good bonding intact? Cement which has decayed will cause them to loosen and fall off eventually. What about the lead flashing around the chimney stack? This is also prone to working itself loose and coming away. Can you spot any loose or missing tiles? The potential for serious internal damage is obvious. How do the soffits and fascias look? If they appear ‘tired’ and weatherbeaten they’ll drag down the overall look of the whole edifice. Perhaps it’s time for some bright and fresh-looking uPVC replacements. Finally, is the guttering soundly fixed and functioning correctly? Proper drainage of rainwater is absolutely essential because houses hate damp!

What’s most important with any roof problem is that you find a contractor with the requisite skills and expertise to make a proper assessment of the situation and be able to deal with it effectively. Graham Woodison has been in the business for over three decades now and offers a first-class, yet reasonably priced roofing service that’s guaranteed to deliver complete customer satisfaction. He covers a wide area of the south that takes in much of the Home Counties and some parts of town.

“Having been in the same business for so many years, I suppose you could say I’ve seen it all,” said Graham. “I think the best advice I could give anyone is to deal with any problems in the early stages - ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ as they say.

“A seemingly innocuous leak from a blocked or holed gutter can in time cause untold damage to an outer wall as a result of water permeation damaging the mortar – and that does get expensive to repair.”

If you want to engage the services of a really experienced roofer, why not get in touch with Graham. He is available between 9.00am and 6.00pm every weekday and is happy to come out at weekends as well. Make him your roofing contractor.
