Repair or replace?
The choice to repair or replace a roof can only be made after a full roof MOT inspection. Your estimator will be able to advise on the cost of carrying out repairs or replacement of a pitched or flat roof.
Things to consider for repairs
All roofs should be inspected at least twice a year, ideally, before and after winter. This will ensure your roof is able to withstand the storm periods which are prevalent in the North East between November and March.
Conducting tiling repairs, cleaning out gutters, repointing ridge tiles and fixing rainwater goods are all common maintenance items on older roofs. Roofs dating back to before 1940 often begin to suffer from nail sickness.
