For most of us, a roof is designed to last a lifetime. You may need maintenance and repairs every so often but that’s the biggest worry you should have. Unfortunately, this is not always true.
There may be times when you want or need a full replacement of your roof. This, of course, is a pretty big undertaking and you really need the services of an expert team who know what they are doing.
They’ll not only ensure that the job carried out on your roof is a professional one but they could save you money as well.
Repairing Storm Damage on Your Sevenoaks Property
We’ve had a good few storms in recent years around the Kent area and they’ve taken their toll on some properties. The roof is one of the main areas where major structural damage is likely to occur. This goes beyond a few simple lost tiles that need replacing.
Nearby trees can get caught in the wind and crash onto the roof, chimneys that haven’t been maintained properly collapse. If you have had significant damage to your roof after a storm, it’s important to get repairs done as soon as possible to prevent further problems.
At GR Regan & Son, we can also help you liaise with insurance companies so that there isn’t any delay.
Increasing the Value of Your Home
It’s not just damage that might mean you want to replace your old roof. Over time, slates and tiles become degraded and start to look shabby. If you want to add more value to your home, replacing these is a sensible option, even though it requires major work.
It will certainly give your property a lot more curb appeal. We often see this type of job when it comes to a full remodelling of a home where a lot of money is being spent. The roof replacement is part of a whole host of building work that has been scheduled to take place.
Flat Roof Replacement and Repair
While pitched roofs on your average home generally don’t need to be replaced, we see issues with flat roofs more often. While the new coverings available today are built to last a long time, the average lifespan of older flat roofs is more in the region of 15 to 20 years.
At GR Regan, we work with a lot of businesses across the Sevenoaks area to help repair and replace large areas of flat roofing. There are a number of options here, from GRP fibreglass to EPDM and torch on felt roofing. The key is to find the right solutions for the structure you have. The good news is that you can expect a new roof installation to last 30 years or more.
If you live in Sevenoaks, Kent and need an experienced company to put in a new roof on your property, the team at GR Regan are here to help. We have a long and distinguished track record of delivering high-quality roofing solutions for both homes and businesses.
