As a Roofer in Kilmarnock we see many issues around flashing. Lead flashing is the first line of defence for preventing rain, snow, sleet, hail, wind, and any other weather elements from penetrating into buildings. It seals off openings between exterior walls (walls facing outside) and interior partitions (walls inside). Different types of flashing exist, each serving a specific purpose. However, lead flashing does not always work as intended and can be a source of problems if it fails or becomes damaged.
Lead flashing is typically made of galvanized steel that has been painted with an epoxy-based paint. The paint provides additional protection against corrosion and also makes the flashing more visible. Lead flashing is usually installed over existing exterior sheathing (plywood) or siding material. It may also be used on concrete block or brick masonry walls.
There are three basic types of lead flashing:
Flat - A flat piece of lead flashing is placed directly onto the surface of the wall. It is often used when installing a new window.
Curved - A curved piece of lead flashing is designed to cover corners and other irregular surfaces.
Angled - An angled piece of lead flashing covers angles such as those created by roof dormer windows.
Flashings come in various sizes, shapes, colours, and thicknesses. Some flashings have a tapered design so they fit snugly around corners. Others are larger pieces that cover large gaps. Whichever type of flashing is required for your repair we will know the best type and how to install it to provide the protection your building needs.
If you have sustained any kind of damages to your roof it is vital to have them repaired promptly by a professional team of experts to protect your home from water damage. Working at height always presents risks so you should always ensure that you book a professional team of experts to carry our any roof repairs to your property. Our team of experts have the right tools to complete the job safely and to a very good standard to ensure that we return your tiles, flashing or guttering back to its original state. If you require an roof repair for emergency work - call us. Delaying a roof repair can end up costing you thousands of pounds more if additional water damage results.
Flat rooftops are a common trend in modern buildings especially for extensions. They're relatively inexpensive and durable and seldom need maintenance for at least 10 years after installation. If they have issues, however, it's important to fix them right away. This is because a cracked flat roof will leak, which can cause a heavy build up of water depending on the position of the problem as rain will be channelled to one or two drains, which if the crack is on route to these drains, will be gathering all the water being collected by the flat roof. This could lead to serious damage to your house as well as your belongings. Contact us as soon as possible if you notice any issues with your flat roof.
So how do you know if your guttering needs cleaning? Well, there are a few things that can tell you that it does need some attention. The most obvious one is when you notice any leaks in your home or business. If you see water dripping from your roofline then this could be an indication that something is wrong with your gutters. Another thing that will let you know that your gutters need cleaning is when you notice leaves and debris clogging up your gutters. If you can see this with your naked eye then this is a clear sign that your gutters need cleaning. It is very easy for them to get clogged up over time so if you have noticed any of these signs then you should contact us to come out and give your gutters a good cleaning.
When it comes to gutter repairs we find that most issues are caused by the improper installation of gutters in the first place or lack of cleaning which has caused a build up of debris causing additional stress at certain points of the guttering including where it meets the downpipe. Ideally it is worth having your guttering inspected every couple of years.
Depending on the nature of the damage or issue we may be able to carry out a patch fix or apply the right sealant to the right areas or simply replace a section of guttering or gutter union bracket. Sometime what may seem to be an issue with the guttering may be with its attachment to the fascia. An incorrect installation may simply mean repositioning the guttering brackets to assist the natural flow of water towards the downpipe.
Slate and tile roofs are the classic choices when it comes to roofs. They are strong, durable and extremely long lasting. A slate or tile can last for hundreds of years without any maintenance being performed on them once installed. However, as many homes in Kilmarnock are getting older, replacing roofs is becoming increasingly popular and if left too long could become a danger or costlier to constantly try and repair sections. If you believe your home needs a new roof contact us today at Roofer Kilmarnock so we can assess the situation and discuss what options might be best for you.
Whilst many of the roof repairs we carry out are the result of long time wear and tear caused by weathering the four seasons over a umber of years unfortunately when hit by extreme weather certain damage to a property can be triggered almost instantly and getting the roof repaired as soon as possible could make a big difference in terms of minimising damage. In certain instances where water could end up coming into contact with electricity then there are more serious personal safety risks that need to be addresses as soon as possible.

The fascias and soffits play an important part of your roof structure and consequently an important part in maintaining a structurally sound property. Older properties with wooden fascias and soffits can allow water to creep towards your walls and develop into damp and mould which can create serious health issues. Rotting fascias will also effect the stability of your guttering which can accelerate water issues even if your guttering is in good condition. Whether your fascias and soffit need fixing, cleaning, painting or replacing we can provide all of these services and advice on options which will be most suitable for your property and the current state of your soffits and fascias.

These can include severe storm damage, such as strong winds, hail, or falling trees that have caused significant structural damage to the roof. Additionally, leaks that are actively causing water damage inside the building or posing a risk of electrical hazards should be addressed as emergencies. Other situations that may require emergency roof repairs include roof collapses, extensive fire damage, or any other circumstances where the safety of occupants or the building itself is at immediate risk. Prompt action in these situations is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of individuals and property so please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
