Common Roof Problems Affecting Your Home

Here at DVC Roofing, we understand the importance of your roof. It protects you, your home and your family from the unpredictable elements. Your roof needs to be continually maintained to ensure it withstands its life expectancy for as long as possible.

Here are a few of the most common roof problems affecting your home and domestic properties:-

Weathering/Storms – Weathering is one of the most common roof problems which will affect your roof over time. A strong storm or gale force gust ultimately impacts on the quality of your roof. Although we cannot predict what Mother Nature will do next, DVC Roofing can ensure that your roof is built with precision, care and quality products by experienced tradesmen, to minimise the impact that the weather has on your roof.

Roof Leaks and Moisture – Leaks are another of the most common problems affecting your roof. Although you might think a bucket is the easiest solution to fix this problem – leaks are usually an indicator of a more serious issue. ‘Flashing’ is the main cause of roof leaks – these are caused by the rain and/or faulty workmanship. All of our pitched roofing comes with a guarantee – we are registered with The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS), DVC strive to assure all customers of our ability to conduct all roofing works in a safe and professional manner.

Safety/Lack of Maintenance – Some things just aren’t built to last, and this is true about many domestic roof problems. For this reason, many roof problems are caused by poor workmanship and less-than-professional contractors. To avoid the issue, never hire someone without first checking that they have successfully completed roofing projects similar to yours in the past and that their previous customers are satisfied. At North East Roofing Specialists DVC Roofing, we are approved by independent company Checked and Vetted, and we have recently been awarded Health And Safety Champion Award at the National Federation of Roofing Contractor’s Awards 2015.

Common roof problems can usually be fixed with minimal effort if they are spotted in their first stages. If you feel that your roof is being affected by any of these problems, or you think that you need any emergency repairs, please contact us and we’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.
