Roof Maintenance Before Winter

Roof Painting by Roofwest Bunbury As the cooler weather starts to settle in around the South West, home owners need to ensure their house structure is sound before the winds and rain are upon us. The one part of your home that bears the brunt of winter the most is your roof and having it inspected, repaired or restored before the bad weather hits is not only much safer, it can save you big money in the long run as small problems become large ones very quickly in the wet and windy weather.

ROOFWEST Roof Restorations will not only ensure your roof is safe and secure now, they also handle storm damage insurance work, striving to attend your property as soon as possible to repair any damage caused by bad weather.

The team at ROOFWEST Roof Restorations can assist with all damage including:

Loose Tiles and Tin
Damaged Gutters
Faded and Cracked Roof Coating

Loose Tin and Tiles

In severe weather, tin and tiles can be completely lifted off your house. This is not only a safety hazard, it opens your roof cavity up to water damage. This leads to insulation rot and leaks into your home – which can both be extremely costly to repair.

Damaged Gutters

Accumulated water in blocked or damaged gutters and downpipes can lead to overflow and flooding both into the roof cavity and outside areas. This mass water leads to sagging and eventual rust and breakdown of the gutter materials.

Faded and Cracked Roof Coating

If your roof has not been restored or repainted for a while, chances are your roof coating is not as waterproof as it should be. ROOFWEST Roof Restorations can apply their Dulux Acra Tex Membrane to prevent repair and prevent cracks in the roof coating surface – another defence against the elements.
