If you’ve noticed damage to your property’s roof, you may be wondering whether it’s best to undergo roof repairs or install one of our new roofs. If you’re based in Wokingham, our roofing company is on hand to provide expert guidance and complete quality work for pitched and flat roofs, as well as conservatory roof conversions. However, our roofers have compiled a list of considerations for those needing immediate advice to help you decide the best course of action.
Conducting a full damage assessment is the first step in identifying whether your property requires a roof replacement or repair. This includes a visual inspection to determine the extent of the damage and whether it is localised or widespread. Minor issues include broken or damaged tile roofing or small tears to your EPDM roofing.
If your roofing is over 20 years old, it’s probably worth installing one of our new roofs. Whilst this might seem like the more expensive option, it is much more cost-effective than completing roof repairs on a deteriorating roof and is a more suitable long-term solution. However, if your Wokingham roof is relatively new, a repair is recommended in response to general wear and tear or minor storm damage.
Whilst we don’t recommend putting off necessary roof work, it’s important to consider your budget before hiring a roofer. This personal decision should be made with full understanding that frequent repairs often become more costly than a one-off installation. Additional costs, such as energy bills, should also be considered as they will contribute to the cost-effectiveness of a full replacement – especially if the repairs concern your conservatory. With our conservatory roof conversions, we can conserve energy by installing a new, solid roof that reduces energy use.
Perhaps the most important issue to consider is the severity of the damage. Choosing our repair service is best if the issues are minor and can easily be fixed. However, if the damage is extensive, our roofing company recommends replacing it with one of our pitched or flat roofs. Remember, you should consult a professional for an accurate damage assessment and advice on the best action.
Our Wokingham-based roofers are happy to help and offer the following services:
To make the right decision, you should consider your future plans. If you plan to stay in your current property long-term, installing one of our new roofs will provide you with peace of mind and lasting protection. But, if you are thinking about moving, localised repairs are a more practical and cost-effective solution for all pitched or flat roofs.
