Building a new Home Extension? In our experience roof dormers & waterproofing these dormer roofs to last a long time are one of the most problematic types of roofing projects a roofing company encounters, not only is there usually an Insulated flat roof, but vertical dormer windows, which to be waterproofed correctly have to be done in Lead and the hidden gutters in the perimeter also.
   Building a new home extension? Many house extensions we encounter are built with roof pitches too shallow for the materials like slate or ordinary roof tiles, some Architects are not aware of this and we have changed roof specifications on many occasions after highlighting these issues.On two storey buildings or higher the height of the second storey window sills often determine the builders height for the home extension roof, meaning if your roof pitch is less than 22.5 degrees-in our considerable experience you will further down the road have roof problems manifesting as cracks in your ceiling, odd stains in the ceiling, cracks on walls or dark patches on walls & ceilings and these are just underlying roof problems only detected by experienced roofing professionals in Bristol & Bath areas.

The roofing and guttering on any property must be maintained and kept in a good condition to enable a property to remain waterproof. Leaking roof coverings can lead to expensive repairs to the rafter arms, timbers and any decorative finishes, which will deteriorate rapidly in wet/damp conditions.

Different types of roof coverings have varying life spans. The materials used, the quality of the workmanship and the exposure to the local elements will all be contributing factors to the effective lifespan of the roof.

You may only realise that a roof repairis needed when stains on the ceiling are noticed in a room after rainfall.
This indicates that the rainwater is leaking into the roof space.

Always repair water damage as soon as possible to stop further rain damaging more of the the property.

BPC Roofing Services are experts at roof repairs in Bath area & roofing repairs near Bristol area.

CHIMNEYS: Chimney stacks should be checked regularly for any potential problems. By keeping an eye on their condition or change of condition, repairs can be carried out as soon as they are needed, preventing further dampness penetrating into the structure of the chimney.

COPPER, ZINC OR LEAD FLASHINGS:
Flashings are used around the base of the chimney stack to seal and weatherproof the stack to the roofing surface. It is also used where a roof meets a wall or around a dormer window. It can be a mortar, tiled or metal flashing, such as lead, zinc or copper. Metal flashing is available in sections, made for use around chimney stacks or can be supplied in rolls, of varying widths and materials.

PLASTIC, ALUMINIUM OR METAL GUTTERING:
The purpose of guttering is to effectively channel rainwater from the roof towards a downpipe which in then carries it down to ground level and then into the drainage system. This system helps to stop the walls of the house becoming saturated and causing problems with dampness. Have your guttering and downpipes inspected and cleaned annually.
