Your common roofing FAQs answered

Part of your roof can be covered by insurance, but it is rare to get full coverage.

Full coverage is only given in the event that the roof was previously in very good condition before it became damaged.

The cause of damage must also be included in the insurance policy to give full coverage.

Can you repair roof shingles?

If my roof is damaged, can I carry out work by myself?
Most roof repair work requires the help of a professional. It can be risky to attempt a repair yourself. Improper techniques can result in injuries as well as damage to your roof.

If you do need to assess your roof yourself, then ensure that your ladder is braced with rubber safety feet. Having someone foot the ladder and help is essential to ensuring your safety. Also, wear sensible shoes so that you do not slip on the ladder.

How many years should I expect on my warranty?
Usually, there is a 25-year guarantee on flat roofs, and a 10-year warranty on tile roofs, which also includes solvency protection.

Can I get my roof fixed in winter?
The simple answer is yes. Though cold temperatures are not completely ideal for a roof fitting, we can successfully fit a roof in winter if necessary.

  2. Roof materials
  3. Complexity of roof design
