Roofing Maintenance: 4 Spring Cleaning Tips from Roofers in Surrey

It's spring time once again in Surrey, and homeowners around the area are starting their spring cleaning routines.

Work with a Buddy

Ask a friend or a family member to help you keep the ladder steady as your climb up and down. This is to prevent any shifts in balance that may cause you to fall off.

Alternatively, you can use a pair of binoculars to scan your roof for any issues. Simply take note of all the problems you find and hand it over to a respected roofing service, like Brunwin Professional Roofing Services, Ltd., to give them a better idea of the work that needs to be done.

Surrey Roofing Tips: How to Manage Snowfall on a Flat Roof Efficiently

Though snow blizzards are quite rare in the U.K., the potential exists with climate change for such conditions to occur more frequently. As a business owner, you may wonder about the effects that such extreme weather conditions can have on your flat roof. Flat roofs have their own set of advantages, but they may suffer during winter months. It is therefore important for you to be prepared for such conditions to prevent potentially significant damage to your business and its assets.

Repeated snow falls are a flat roof's greatest enemy. In such cases, there won't be sufficient time for snow to melt, and this means snow will keep accumulating until it exceeds the design capability of the roof. And if snow is followed by rainy weather, the snow will only absorb all that moisture, further exacerbating the risks that your flat roof may face. Read more from this blog http://bit.ly/2kBsDSw

Surrey Roofers Share Awesome Tips on Snow Removal for Pitched Roofs

Many Surrey homeowners gravitate toward pitched roofing. Simple yet elegant, the roof style has managed to survive several thousand years, and though designs have evolved considerably over time, the principles of its construction are still practically the same. That said, they remain at great risk of buckling under heavy snow and ice accumulations, particularly those of the low-slope variety.

It's not unusual for homes in Surrey to have several inches of snow on a roof in the winter. Thus, roofs in the area need to be strong enough to handle the extra weight that snow adds to the structure. In addition, a roof must be able to prevent ice dams, sliding snow, and too much icicles. The easiest and most sensible way to achieve these is to keep the roof as basic as possible. This means keeping additional roof features such as valleys, dormers, crickets, and mechanical roof penetrations such as vents and skylights to a minimum.

Croydon Roofing Company Discusses Dangers of Winter on a Flat Roof

A flat roof can make a Surrey or Croydon home or commercial establishment look ultra-modern, but along with the aesthetical advantage comes a list of special considerations, especially during winter. While most flat roofs actually have a slight pitch, they can still collect more rain and snow than traditional roofs. This makes them a safety liability whenever the temperature drops. Below is a list of the damages that a harsh winter season can deal to a flat roof:

Ponding/bowing

Snow can accumulate on your flat roof, and this can put a lot of unwanted weight on the structure. This excessive downward pressure can cause the roof to bow, which can lead to ponding under the roof structure. Ponding not only causes wear and tear on the roof materials-it can also hamper the smooth operation of the HVAC and other electrical systems.
