Roofline Shawlands

Roofline Glasgow provide a roofing and guttering installation service to the Shawlands area.

Why is maintaining your property roofline so important?

We barely give the roof and guttering a second thought or glance, until it starts to malfunction. The hard truth is, if we had taken more notice, in some cases the expensive repair bill might have been much less if the problem had been spotted earlier.

With the ferociousness of the winter weather behind us, now is the time to take a hard look at the roofline of your Shawlands property. Notice any problems or potential issues?

Is your roofline doing its job?

The roofline is a complex system that ensures that as much rain as possible is cleared as quickly as possible from your roof and exterior of your property. It ensures the roof space is adequately ventilated, without exposing the space to local wildlife that could make their home there. With harsh climatic conditions, you need to be confident that the roofline of your Shawlands property is functioning perfectly.

But, as well as being functional, it also has aesthetic appeal. Well-maintained roofline components make your property look appealing from the exterior too.

Maintenance

In order for the roofline on your Shawlands property to be doing its job properly and efficiently, it needs maintaining. Over the years, advances in technology and manufacturing mean that roofline components actually need a lot less maintenance than they once did; in other words, wooden fascia and guttering boards for example, in order to stay looking good and functioning well, needed protection with a coat of exterior paint every few years.

Guttering once made from metal that needed painting, is also an important part of the roofline on your Shawlands property. Modern systems tend to be made from plastic, requiring very little maintenance other than needing the odd clean and removal of accumulating debris.

Can you do these roofline jobs yourself?

Those people with the skills and tools do choose to maintain or replace certain components of the roofline but not everyone is confident or able to work at height. Other than the considerations of personal safety, knowing some of the complexities of the roofline system is also essential. Guttering, for example, needs angling but only by a few degrees in order for the rainwater to flow effortlessly away.

Certain parts of the roofline, although small and seemingly inconsequential, provide important ventilation and other elements to the home; blocking these vents or not including them in the roofline could spell disaster to the interior of your home.

Take a look at your roofline? Could it look better? Is it functioning to the best of its ability?
