Many would argue that your roof is the most important part of your home. It’s the bit that keeps the weather out, and the heat in. It’s vital therefore, to make sure that your roof is in the best condition it can be. If it’s getting old, it’s going to develop problems and, if those problems are not fixed quickly, you may find that you’re having to outlay significant amounts of cash to specialist local roofing firms to come along and perform some roof repairs.

Roofs come in a variety of materials. For flat roofs (normally found on garages, bay windows and single storey extensions) you can have them covered in felt (a very traditional and somewhat old fashioned roofing material), GRP fibreglass (sometimes knows as fiberglass or plastic roofing), or, the latest thing to hit the roofing scene, EPDM rubber roofing. All of these roofing types come with a guarantee, which will differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, and each one has a different life expectancy.

A more traditional kind of roof is the ‘pitched’ roof. A pitched roof is the standard kind of roof which is classically A shaped. Pitched roofs are generally built of manufactured concrete slate, natural roof slate or occasionally, beautiful Yorkshire stone. On top of the pitched roof will be ridge tiles which will not only match the roof, but will make it look good too.

Another vital part of your roof is your ‘roofline’. This is the finishing off of the roof, where clean, bright plastics are used to give your roof a superb finish. You’ll read of soffits, fascias, gutters and guttering, barge boards and dry verges. If you’re confused, you’ll find much more information here.

Most local roofers will be able to help you to repair or replace your roof or roofline. Most will happily come out to offer you a free estimate. Make sure they have the experience necessary to do the work and, if possible, ask for some testimonials from happy customers.
