Maintenance
Maintaining your roof
To ensure the expected longevity of your roof and to comply with warranty conditions, no matter what roof you choose, you will have to do a degree of general maintenance during the life of the roof because no roof is “maintenance free”.
If you detect leakage on an interior ceiling which appears to be coming from the roof, arrange for an inspection and repair before the problem escalates and more damage occurs.
If your roof is looking tired, needs repair and rejuvenation, then you may want to consider restoration. Restoration work can be undertaken on various roof types, but the most commonly restored roofs are concrete tiles, metal tiles and pre-painted long-run steel roofing.
