Roof Replacement Bishopbriggs, Reading the Signs
Colston Roofing, a Glasgow based roofing company, covers roof replacement in Bishopbriggs and the surrounding areas. Signs a roof needs replacing include age past twenty to twenty five years, daylight in the loft, missing tiles, sagging, persistent leaks and damaged flashing.
Which warning signs point to a new roof rather than a repair?
Colston Roofing points to seven warning signs: a roof older than twenty to twenty five years, daylight in the loft, cracked, broken or missing tiles, moss or sagging, persistent leaks or ceiling stains, damaged flashing, and heavy mould in the loft.
One symptom alone rarely justifies a new roof. Several at once, on a roof of that age, is when a full replacement starts to be the cheaper option over roof slating and tiling Blantyre time. An inspection by Colston Roofing costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
What is the best replacement for a flat roof?
It depends on the size, access and exposure, but EPDM rubber is widely chosen for its flexibility and few seams. Colston Roofing names EPDM as its most recommended flat roof option in wet, exposed conditions.
What is the difference between slating and tiling a roof?
Natural slate is quarried stone split into thin sheets and nailed in overlapping rows. Tiles are made, from concrete or clay, and most modern ones interlock and hang on battens. The layer underneath matters as much as the covering on top.
Older houses were mostly slated, and slate is one of the most durable roof coverings there is. Slating and tiling are both part of what Colston Roofing does, whether that means a repair or a whole roof.
What are common problems with EPDM roofs?
Most trace back to installation rather than the rubber: poorly bonded seams, badly detailed edges and upstands, and adhesive failing where the deck was damp. Damage from being walked on or from sharp objects is the other usual culprit.
