Is It Time To Get A New Roof?

One of the most common things we do at Align Roofing is replace roofs across East Anglia. The typical British weather means that roofs get battered, which can lead to problems like missing tiles and chimney pots on the floor. It’s easy for a professional roofer to repair these minor issues.
However, you should know that if your roof is beyond repair and having persistent leaks, then you should consider installing a new one. If you are at the beginning stages of looking into remedies for your leaky roof, then we can help in providing solid recommendations on what steps you should take first.



New Roof Frequently Asked Questions
When Do I Need A New Roof?
Replacing your roof is a hefty investment, and not one to put off. Holding regular checks for the following could help determine if you need a new roof:
• There are droplets of water or wet spots on your ceiling, in the attic, or crawl spaces.
• The masonry of your chimney has cracked.
• Shingles are or have become curled, buckling and worn out due to age.
• There are visible holes in your roof.
• Roof shingles are aging and missing granules.
• You see signs of roof rot, such as a spongy feeling when you walk on it.
• There is water build-up in your eaves.
• There is damage to your flashing, or it has become completely compromised.
Do I Need To Do Anything To Prepare For New Roof Installation?
If you need to replace your roof, there are a few quick steps that will make the process go smoothly. Remove any loose items from the walls and shelves in your home before tarps and machines arrive onsite. Clear as much of your driveway as possible, too – contractors sometimes clear off materials to avoid them falling onto fragile surfaces.

How Long Will My New Roof Last?
Even the best roofing system has an expiration date. However, it will last longer if you invest in a high-quality contractor and materials. A new roof typically lasts for 20 years with proper maintenance and construction, but may last less time or more depending on how well it was made originally and how well it is maintained throughout its lifetime.
