Climate change and your roof
Climate change is barely out of the headlines these days. One of the impacts of climate change in this part of North West England is the increasing frequency of stormy weather and how that impacts your roof.
A common cause of roof damage resulting in loose or broken tiles or slates is high winds and driving rain. It’s important to make sure that any damage to your roof is fixed quickly because any roof leaks will lead to more serious water damage to your home which will be more expensive to fix later on. This is especially true if your roof is more than 25 years old.
One way to strengthen your roof against severe storms is to have dry roof fixings installed. These relate to the ridge tiles and gable end(s) of your roof which are traditionally fixed in place with mortar cement. The problem with mortar is that it starts to deteriorate after 15 to 20 years leading to ridge tiles becoming loose unless they are repointed.
However, dry fixings such as dry ridge eliminate the use of mortar cement altogether relying instead on fixing the ridge tiles in place with specialist roof fixings that hold the ridge tiles firmly in place thus making your roof more storm resistant. They have more than double the lifespan of mortar and together with gable end dry verge systems, hold your roof firmly in place.

10 top tips for keeping your roof in great shape
Making sure that your roof stays in good shape and continues to keep the rain out is really important. Leaks can lead to considerable damage to the interior of your home so need to be fixed straight away once they are discovered.
Here are our 10 top tips for keeping your roof in good condition:
Number 1: Have your roof regularly inspected. If your roof is more than 25 years old, then it’s a good idea to ask a qualified professional roofer like North West Roof Care to give it the once over. Our team of local professional roofers will photograph any issues they discover and recommend any repairs that might be required.
Number 2: Don't put off repair work until later. With so many family budgets under pressure at the moment, it’s understandable that homeowners may be tempted to put off any necessary repair work to their roof. But broken, loose or missing roof tiles or slates means roof leaks and if these are not repaired, the subsequent damage caused by water getting into your roof space and causing damp issues to upstairs ceilings and walls will cost far more to repair later on. Make sure repairs are carried out straight away. North West Roof Care offer a competitively-priced, fast and responsive roof repair service throughout south Cumbria and north Lancashire.

Number 3: Don’t forget your chimney! Chimneys are also vulnerable to stormy weather and the older your chimney, the more vulnerable it is to storm damage. That’s because the cement work which holds the chimney pots in place and the bricks of the stack together deteriorates over time and should be repointed every 25 years or so. It’s a good idea to get your chimney inspected if it’s older than 25 years just to make sure it’s still able to withstand anything that the weather throws at it. Flashings, the part of the chimney where it meets the roof, is also a vulnerable area which needs attention.
4: Gutter cleaning. Your gutters should be cleared of any debris such as leaves every couple of years or so at most. Any blockages in your gutters can cause them to overflow rather than the rainwater draining away down the roan pipes, so should be cleared as overflowing gutters can cause damp issues to your external walls.
5: Gutter Repairs. Gutters like most areas of your roof will need repairs from time to time, especially if they are the old metal kind which are prone to rusting. We recommend that these are replaced with high quality, low maintenance UPVC gutters.
6: Flashings around roof windows. All roof windows have flashings around them to prevent the water getting in. However, if your roof windows or skylights haven’t been properly installed by a professional roofer such as North West Roof Care, you may start to see water or damp around the window. This should be rectified immediately to prevent further damage.
7: Use a local, professional roofer. North West Roof Care is a local professional roofer who can be relied on for both quality roofing services and excellent customer care. That’s because when you are local, your reputation depends on doing a great job and getting word of mouth recommendations from other customers. What’s more, we never sub contract our work because we cannot guarantee someone else’s work.
8. Flat Roofs. Make sure your flat roof is professionally installed by a flat roof specialist like North West Roof Care. We have many years experience installing quality flat roofs. A traditional felt roof should last between 15 to 20 years when properly installed and a rubber or fibreglass roof 50 to 60 years.
9: New roofs. When you need to have your new roof replaced with a new one, make sure to choose a reliable, trusted local roofer like North West Roof Care. As professional roofers with many years experience of roofing, we are in a position to offer you the best advice on the most suitable materials for your roof and your budget. A well installed roof should last at least between 60 to 70 years.
10: Guarantees. Make sure that you choose a roofer who guarantees his work. All our roof work is guaranteed including the repairs.
