Roof Maintenance Importance

03 Feb

Preventative maintenance work is essential for any property. If carried out professionally and properly it will reduce the probability of serious decay and damage that will have a much more expensive setback for your business or home.

Maintenance work will save your future costs but at the same time increase the value of your property. Without such action a property’s structure can seriously deteriorate. Harsh weather condition will only catalyse damage and destruction on a much more disastrous scale.

One of the main issues any property faces is water related. Damp can, if left untreated close down a business for days or even weeks. A leaking or untendered roof allows for rain to enter the building and damage the structure of the property. Access maintenance can perform a number of roof related maintenance tasks.

Firstly, the drainpipes; Access maintenance can check and fix any loose or blocked guttering. Rain and leaves make a dangerous combination. If the gutters are unable to do their job in guiding rainwater off your roof, then that can damage the structural integrity of your property. And lead to damp.

Roofing is probably the most important external protection of your property. It is your property’s first line of defence against the weather and must shield you from the worst of the weather. Strong winds, snow and heavy rainfall are just a few things that your roofing needs to stand the test of time against.

Check the attic or celling for any indication that water may be getting in and this will be a sign that your roof is on need of maintenance. Any damp or wet patches are usually a good indicator and will enable us to diagnose the exterior problem.

One way Access Maintenance can help is loose debris removal. We can remove any leaves, branches or any other debris that may accumulate on your roof over time. This cheap and valuable maintenance will help your roof to protect the property to the best of its ability.

The slates or tiles on your roofing may overtime become loose or damaged. If this problem persists without maintenance and repair, then your property will no longer be protected from the elements. Water damage is almost inevitable and can rot away any wooden structure or beams within the property.

These tasks may seem mundane and a lot of hard work but they are just a tiny fraction of the setbacks one will experience if a full roof repair is needed.

All of these jobs can pose a huge health and safety risk if they are not done by professionals. Working at such a height, often with loose or slippery slates can be very dangerous. Access Maintenance have a vast amount of experience and a team of fully trained and qualified workers.
