Domestic Roofing

Roof Protection

If your house has been built since the 1950s, you may have noticed that your roof tiles have long since began to fade into a uniform grey drab colour. The tiles still keep the rain out but the distinctive good looks have gone.

The effects of weather, the environment and pollution can really spoil the look of your property. Even more alarming is the damage being done to the integrity of the roof itself. Through time as the roof tiles become more porous, moss, fungi and lichens increase the weight on the property and therefore increases the stress of the entire roof structure.

Previously, the only solution would have been to re-roof the property but along with exposing your house to the elements, this can be an expensive operation causing severe disruption.

At Braisby Roofing, we have an inexpensive alternative. Using Acrypol ‘Nulife’, we will:

• Change all broken tiles & ridges
• Check & repair all pointing where necessary
• Pressure clean roof
• Apply fungicidal wash
• Apply a roof coating using your choice of colour

Breathe Easy

Braisby Roofing can help eliminate condensation in your roof, with simple and cost-effective solutions. On average a home produces 24 pints of moisture every day - warm air from bathrooms, cooking, washing-up, washing and drying clothes and even our bodies. Most of the moisture rises in to the loft. When it meets the cool underside of your roof covering it can turn into condensation which, over time, can cause the wooden timbers to rot and weaken. Other  parts of the roof, such as insulation can also be affected and not work efficiently and items stored in the loft may go mouldy.

We offer a range of options to solve this problem. Ventilation tiles, for example, are inexpensive and quick to install. If you would like us to visit your property and carry out a Condensation Risk Analysis on your roof, please contact us  and we will be happy to provide you with an immediate report and solutions to any problems it may have. All our installations meet the recommended British Standard requirements for ventilation.
