Besides acting as a structural support for the external walls of your Weybridge home – it secures their upright position – your roof protects the property’s interior from all weather conditions. We’re lucky in the UK; we don’t get severe storms often, and we certainly don’t have to live through hurricanes, but roofing contractors still have to make sure that the roofs on our homes and premises are in excellent condition all year round and fully secured in place.
And that’s where we come in. Surrey Roofing Specialists is a dedicated roofing company which covers Weybridge and the surrounding areas. As professional roofing contractors, we offer our clients a complete range of roofing services. We are on hand to answer any questions you may have before our installation and repair works. For more information about pitched and flat roofing structures, read more of our company blog or call us on 07946 640262 or 01932 953709.
In this blog, our team of roofers at Surrey Roofing Specialists looks at the following conditions and how they can affect the roof on your property:
With our summers reaching extreme temperatures, we’re also constantly experiencing warmer weather at night. This isn’t always the case. Sometimes, the temperature can drop dramatically after sunset. As a result, your roof will have gone through expansion and contraction within a very short period. This will affect the roofing materials’ structural integrity and can lead to warping. If this occurs, we advise you to call our roofing company immediately.
Unless you live in a shaded part of Weybridge, your roof is exposed to the elements 24/7. Continuous heat beating down on some flat roofs can lead to them drying out and shrinking. Tiles can crack under intense heat as well. Newer flat roofing materials are impervious to UV exposure, so talk to our roofers at Surrey Roofing Specialists if you’re considering upgrading your current flat roof, and we’ll discuss the options available.
Naturally, the rain will access your property's interior if you have cracks or splits in your roof’s material or some missing tiles. This can lead to severe internal damage and extensive repairs by a professional roofing company. Gutters overflowing with debris can cause rain to accumulate in the channels, and this additional weight could see your guttering systems tear away from your Weybridge property.
Ice and snow add weight to the structure and, depending on the weather, could remain in place for some time. Self-cleaning methods, such as scraping the snow away with a shovel or using warm, salty water to clear away the ice and snow, can severely damage the roofing material, leading to necessary replacements.
