Danelaw: Durable Solutions for Pitched Roofing

WINTER CAN be a challenging time for any household, particularly with the current cost of living increases.

In addition to this, cold weather puts a great deal of strain on your home, with issues arising from condensation, poor insulation, and leaking roofs coming to the fore. Rain, snow, and high wind can damage your roof; with all three typically occurring in the first few months of the year, it is important to consider how to protect your home.

Development

The service life of the pitched roof should be taken into account during the development stage. There are numerous options which can enhance the service life of the roof, whether the project is new build or refurbishment.

One thing to bear in mind is that dry fix GRP components can have a superior service life compared to traditionally used roofing materials, and have no value to a prospective thief, unlike lead flashing applications. Some traditional pitched roofing products have also shown to be less reliable over a longer duration. Failing mortar, for example, has been common for many years.

It is also important to ensure that all products used comply with applicable regulations and standards, such as BS 5250 and BS 8612.
