Roof Restoration Glen Waverley

Glen Waverley

If you have plans to live in Glen Waverley for many years with your family, you need to have a safe and comfortable place to live in. One question that homeowners should ask themselves is ‘When was the last roof maintenance done?’ If you’re looking for reputable roofers to do this work, Melbourne Roof Specialist is ready to help.

If you bought your house with newly installed roofing, you may think that maintenance is not yet necessary. This may be so in a year or two, then basic roof maintenance is recommended 1 to 2 times a year. The longevity of the roof does not only depend on the type of material used. It also depends on the environmental elements that it is subjected to – heat of the sun, rain, snow, humidity, etc. If the roof is not properly maintained, it will not last long as it is supposed to.

A homeowner can do some basic maintenance steps, such as, cleaning debris and leaves that may clog the gutter or the valley or cutting overhanging tree branches. But most often, the work requires the skills and experience of expert roofers. Yes, you may consider it as a DIY project, but are you willing to take the risk? Expert roofers have the proper equipment to do the work up there safely. They know the exact steps and needed materials so that the job gets done right the first time.

So, if you need help with making sure that your roof stays in good condition, Melbourne Roof Specialist is offering the following roof maintenance services in Glen Waverley:

De-mossing and Pressure Washing

Tile roofs made of clay commonly attract the growth of moss and lichen. If not removed, your roofing will easily lose its luster and may deteriorate faster. There are different considerations when doing moss-removal — with or without the use of a cleaning agent; the use of a pressure washer at a specific pressure; the manner of spray cleaning; and the use of moss-retardant. A roof expert will know which one is the best method for your type of roofing.

Tiles and Ridge Cap Replacement

In the event of a storm, inspect the roof to see if there are tiles or ridge caps missing or broken. If there are, replace them immediately to avert the problem of having water leaks. It is also better to replace just a few tiles now than to replace a whole section of tiles later.

Replace Flashing, Fasteners, Screws and Rivets

Colorbond roofs are rust-proof so it will take a long time before these metal sheets will need replacement. However, the flashing may be damaged while the fasteners, screws and rivets may be loose or missing. These need to be repaired or replaced to avoid the usual problem of leaking. Sometimes, resealing is necessary to make sure the roof is weather-tight.

If there are other types of roof repair needed, just call and ask Melbourne Roof Specialist for more information. With experts on top of the problem, you can just relax and enjoy life in Glen Waverley.
