Quality Roofing in Surrey and Croydon Prolongs Your Home’s Lifespan


Surrey and Croydon are two areas that are known to receive rather copious amounts of rain throughout the year. In fact, nearly half of all of the days in January and February are marked by precipitation. Roofs can, therefore, take quite a beating over time. In terms of older structures, this is even more of a concern. Why should property owners always seek a reputable roofing company to make certain that this vital area of their home is protected?

Tips for Choosing the Best Surrey Roofing Material for Flat Roofs


Once you find that you’re spending more on roof repairs, you may as well replace your old flat roof with a new one. Years ago, homeowners only had a few choices when it came to flat roofing materials, usually a good quality metal sheet or even reinforced concrete reinforced with asphalt. Now, homeowners can choose among these three other roofing materials for their new flat roof that can better protect their homes from any weather conditions. Artificial or EPDM Rubber This material has been among the most popular choices for flat roofs ever since it was first introduced in the U.K. EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a durable rubber roof that is often installed in one complete layer, doing away the need for joins that depend on size.

Surrey Roofing Experts can Help Fix These Common Flat Roof Problems


Houses with flat roofing can be considered among the most aesthetically pleasing homes that come without a hefty price; after all, it requires simpler materials and lower costs for construction than pitched roofs. Flat roofs, however, also have their own disadvantages, such as their inability to shed water the way pitched roofs do, which often leads to bigger roofing problems. Fortunately, Surrey roofing experts are willing to educate you on common problems you can expect from your flat roof and how you can deal with them. Problems with the Flashing Your roof’s flashing is often made of materials like galvanised steel or aluminium, and its main aim is to go over the joints during roof construction to keep water from seeping through and eventually avoid leaks. When exposed with weathering and oxidisation, however, your roof’s flashing eventually becomes damaged. This can usually be fixed by resealing your flashing with plastic cement or replacing it entirely.

Surrey Roofers Can Help Ensure Your Pitched Roofs are in Top Condition


Your home’s roof is an integral part of your home, that’s why selecting the right type of roof is important in the long run. Though there are several different types of roofs that roofers in Surrey like Brunwin Professional Roofing Services Ltd can install on your dwelling, they can be boiled down to two general categories. It will either be a flat roof, which means your home will look like a cardboard box, or the more traditional pitched roof, which raises the slope of your roof.

There are several different variations of pitched roofs, but they all share similar advantages. Pitched Roof Advantages First of all, a pitched roof is better to look at than a flat one. Some may think modern designs are attractive, but nothing beats tradition. There’s nothing like looking at the sunlight glint off the shingles of your rooftop, whether it be at dawn or at dusk.

Croydon or Surrey Roofing Changes: Working with a Reliable Contractor


Flat roofs are every bit as impressive as other roofing styles, most likely in the sense that they provide extra living or functional space for as long as its surface does not sag; however, circumstances may raise the idea for converting the roof into a pitched system.

The change from a flat roof to a pitched roofing system finds favour among property owners in the United Kingdom. A general look at all houses in the country may reveal that their architectures share a number of design elements, such as brick construction, bay windows, and pitched roofs with ridges of varying degrees.

Significance of Insulation for Flat Roofing in Surrey Home Extensions


According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), more and more people are staying longer in their homes, wherein they move an average of 14 and a half years less frequently, and are more inclined to extend their living space instead. If you’re planning to invest in a home addition, say a garage, sunroom, or guest bedroom, you will most likely choose a flat roofing in Surrey for the new structure. Flat roofs are commonly preferred for home extensions as they won’t be obscuring the light that enters the house’s existing windows. Basically, flat roofing is used whenever an extension is constructed directly on the side of the building. However, when it comes to the construction of a flat roofing in Croydon and other areas near Surrey, established roofers like Brunwin Professional Roofing Services Ltd. always remind clients about the importance of insulation.

Roofing by Surrey Contractors: When You Want the Pitch to Look Good


People look at a house and easily admire its structure. However, when it comes to the roof, all they can see is its style and colour – and don’t forget the angle, which warrants a greater effort to get the pitch just right. Writing for Homebuilding and Renovating magazine, Clive Fewins highlighted the importance of setting up the right angle for your new roof. A wrongly-pitched roof will have long-term consequences for your house, from reduced occupant safety to less desirable structural integrity. Some architectural styles, such as Victorian-era houses, place a premium on highly-pitched roofs; even haunted houses as depicted in various media also have comically-exaggerated pitches. If you’re embarking on a new roofing project that must sport the best pitch and increase the house’s appeal, professionals who specialise in roofing in Surrey, such as Brunwin Professional Roofing Services Ltd., are the ones best suited for this assignment.

Surrey Roofing Tips: Proper Flat Roof Maintenance and Its Advantages


Roofs, aside from providing protection to the residents of a building, have variations with regard to their construction, durability, and materials used. An important feature of a roof is the pitch or its slope, as this enables water to properly drain down from it. There are two types of roofs that are distinct when it comes to their angles as pitched roofs have a higher slope, and then there are flat roofs, which actually have a maximum angle of 10 degrees, despite their classification of being “flat.” Since flat roofs have a lower degree of elevation, it generates more problems compared to high-sloped roofs, particularly those that are poorly installed and not well-maintained. An article from TheHelpfulEngineer.com outlined the prevailing problems that arise from this specific roof type and how it is kept in good working condition.

Croydon and Surrey Roofers: Link Between Roofing Materials and Pitch


A home that you can call your own is probably among your top goals in life. In this regard, home ownership is easier said than done as it comes with a huge amount of expenses. Such expenses don’t stop after one has purchased the house and signed on the dotted line, as it continues to extend to maintaining everything in good condition by having repairs and renovations done eventually. The roofing system in any kind of construction such as a house, building, or other establishments is regarded as a vital part as it serves to protect everyone within the structure. Therefore, having the right materials and appropriate type of roof is crucial as this ensures the stability and safety of the entire structure. Furthermore, another factor considered when choosing or designing a roof is its pitch—the roof’s angle that is dependent on the materials used.

Flat Roofing in Surrey: Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Roof Efficient


Ideally, roofing in Croydon, Surrey, and other areas must be inspected twice a year; once in spring to check damage that may have been inflicted by winter, and again in fall to ensure that your roof is ready for winter. However, if there was a recent storm with strong winds, or you just had some HVAC work done involving your roof, you may need to inspect your roof for potential damage. Check all the components of your flat roofing system and list down the signs of deterioration that you observe. Pay special attention to the condition of the roof’s surface, drainage, position of the ballasts, and indicators of unusual traffic. Since a number of flat roof issues may not be visible to the untrained eye, it’s best that you hire a professional to at least do the scheduled inspections for you.
