Annual Roofing Maintenance – Is your roof up to Winter?

When was the last time you conducted some roofing maintenance? Ensuring the integrity of your roof, especially throughout the Winter period, is essential, regardless of the type of building.

Be it commercial premises or home, prevention is the best defence against leaks, storms, and water damage and before winter is the best time to make sure your roof is up to the task of protecting you throughout the colder months!

Even the smallest of cracks in a roof tile can cause leaks which can then affect the interiors of a home or building, possibly resulting in water damage to walls or flooring. When it comes to maintenance, it isn’t always about being a costly bill! Even a simple clean-up of any plant matter and debris build-up which will naturally build up over time, especially if there are a lot of trees close by, can help to avoid overflow or flooding due to a blockage somewhere in the drainage path.

There are a series of specific checks that if carried out annually, can help to save you in surprise repair bills and keep your roof in good condition year round. PBR Plumbing offers a Comprehensive Roofing Inspection and report which involves a thorough inspection of your roof, diagnosis of any repairs required, and a quote for any required works, enabling you to know and understand the current condition of the roof and gutters that protect your home and prevent any future surprise issues!

What does the Comprehensive Roofing Inspection & Report from PBR Plumbing entail?

The Comprehensive Roofing Inspection & Report will include a comprehensive inspection of all;

• Roof sheet condition
• ​​​​Box gutters
• Gutters
• Down Pipes
• Flashing
• Air conditioning penetrations

​​​​​The Comprehensive Roofing Inspection & Report will come with itemized photos attached to the areas that require attention for your records. Furthermore, PBR Plumbing will also provide you with a quotation to repair each individual section of the roof. The quote will detail sections that require attention starting from a high priority to a low priority. This includes any preventative maintenance recommendations for the future. In addition to this, we will also set up our system to send you a reminder when the roof is due for inspection.

​​​​​​​Regular maintenance is key to preventing unwanted roof leaks and stormwater damage. This is especially relevant during the wet season and then into the future. Above all, our Roofing Inspection ensures the integrity of your roof in the long term.
