Benefits of Fibreglass Roofs:

They offer dependable defence against rain, wind, and other environmental factors, safeguarding the structural integrity of your roof for years to come.
• Weight: Fibreglass roofs offer exceptional lightweight qualities, placing minimal strain on your building's structural integrity. This weightless characteristic makes fibreglass roofs a perfect option for a range of structures, decreasing the need for heavy load-bearing support and improving overall stability.
• Low Maintenance: After installation, fibreglass roofs demand minimal maintenance, only needing occasional cleaning. Their easy-care quality offers a practical and convenient roofing option, giving homeowners peace of mind without the burden of frequent upkeep.
The Most Common Causes of Leaks on Your Fibreglass Roof:
• Water Ingress: Leaks typically result from water seepage, frequently triggered by a breach in the surface layer, defective flashing, or damaged rendering. It is essential to promptly tackle these concerns to avert water penetration and potential harm to the fibreglass roofing framework.
• Water Pooling: Another frequent reason for leaks is the accumulation of water on the fibreglass roofing surface, often caused by insufficient runoff. To avoid water buildup and its resulting damage, it is crucial to implement appropriate drainage systems and conduct routine maintenance.
•
Incorrect Preparation and Materials: Leaks can result from poor preparation and materials in fibreglass roof installation. Inadequate boarding before installation can harm durability. Proper prep and materials are essential for roof efficiency and longevity.

FAQS
-
How often should I get my roof inspected?
Regular roof inspections are crucial to identify potential issues before they become costly problems. It's generally recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year, preferably in the spring or fall, and after severe weather events like storms.
-
What are the signs that my roof needs repair or replacement?
Look out for signs such as missing or damaged shingles, leaks or water stains on your ceiling, sagging areas, and excessive granule loss from shingles. If your roof is over 20 years old, it's also advisable to consider a replacement, even if there are no apparent issues.
-
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
The duration of a roof replacement project depends on various factors like the size of your roof, the materials used, and weather conditions. However, a typical residential roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days to a week to complete.
-
What type of roofing material is best for my home?
The best roofing material for your home depends on factors like your budget, climate, and aesthetic preferences. Common options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile roofing, and cedar shakes. A professional roofer can assess your needs and recommend the most suitable material for your situation.
-
Do you offer warranties on your roofing services?
Yes, most reputable roofing contractors provide warranties on both the materials used and the labour performed. These warranties can vary in duration and coverage, so it's essential to discuss the details with your contractor before proceeding with any work.
-
What are common roof problems?
Some common causes are
- Leaks: Leaks can occur due to damaged or missing shingles, cracked flashing around vents or chimneys, or deteriorated sealant around roof penetrations. Prompt detection and repair of leaks are essential to prevent water damage to the interior of your home.
- Shingle Damage: Over time, shingles can become cracked, curled, or missing due to exposure to the elements, leading to potential leaks and reduced protection for your home. Regular inspections can help identify and address shingle damage before it worsens.
- Poor Installation: Improper installation of roofing materials, including shingles, flashing, and underlayment, can lead to various issues such as leaks, premature deterioration, and structural damage. It's essential to hire a reputable roofing contractor with experience in proper installation techniques.
- Gutter Issues: Clogged or damaged gutters and downspouts can cause water to overflow onto the roof, leading to water damage, mould growth, and even structural issues. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance are crucial to ensure proper water drainage from the roof.
