Let's Renovate with Casain Decor

One will constantly hear about the foundation of a house, but rarely does anyone think about the importance of what’s directly overhead. A lot goes into the upkeep of your roof and while it can cost a bit to maintain, cheap repairs can lead to very expensive consequences down the road.

Warning Signs of Roof Damage

Even if you aren’t a roofing expert, keeping an eye out for some of these things could save you from shelling out your hard-earned money.

• Curling roof tiles or shingles
• Missing shingles
• Moss growing around tiles

Beyond the exterior, you should also peek into the attic of your house to see if there are any obvious gaps in the ceiling or any leakage.

Which Parts of the Roof Need Updating?

The tiles may seem to be the main part of roof repair but you’ll notice that any good roofing services in Southampton will offer repairs on every last centimetre of your roof, including smaller fixtures that may be hiding small leaks or damage.

Water and moisture can find their way into any exterior feature including your tiles, chimney work, gutters, and outdoor lights. Make sure that you can find a service that covers all of these areas as fixing one part and not the other will still lead to the need for pricy renovations down the line.

One of the biggest rules of thumb is to pay attention to the age of your house because every material ages differently and after many damp Southampton winters, your roof may be looking for a little TLC.
