Storm Damage Repair in Renfrew

Colston Roofing, a Glasgow based roofing company, covers storm damage repairs in Renfrew and the surrounding areas. After a storm, check from the ground for slates on the path, gaps in a slope or a displaced ridge, then look in the loft for daylight and fresh roofer Clarkston damp.

What should you check after a storm?

Start from the ground, never from a ladder in the wind. Pieces of slate below, a missing course or a shifted ridge tile are what to look for. Inside, check the loft for daylight and damp patches on the underside of the roof.

Not always, because storm damage includes cracks and lifted flashing that are hard to see from below. Cracks, compromised flashing and missing or broken tiles are the storm damage Colston Roofing sets out to identify and fix fast.

Can I claim roof leak damage on my home insurance in the UK?

Often for sudden damage such as a storm, far less often where the leak comes from gradual wear, which most policies exclude. Report it quickly, photograph everything, and limit further damage if you safely can.

What does a roof survey check?

The covering, the ridge and hips, the valleys, the flashings, the chimney and the gutters, and the loft from the inside where there is access. Colston Roofing carries out roof surveys and quotes free of charge.

Because nobody can price a roof they have not looked at. The survey settles the repair or replace question before money is spent. For repairs, Colston Roofing says the first assessment can sometimes be done from photos alone.

How to spot a dodgy roofer?

Be wary of cold callers, cash only prices, large deposits before any materials arrive, and no fixed business address. Look for a traceable address, reviews from real customers and a written quote.

Why would you take a chimney down?

Usually because it no longer does anything and keeps costing money. Even out of use it needs upkeep, and it remains a frequent source of water ingress. Chimney removal is on the Colston Roofing service list.

Once the stack comes down, the roof is made good so the slope runs through unbroken. Check whether anything still uses the flue, and whether the stack is shared, before anything is taken down.
