How Do I Know If My Roof Has Been Fixed Properly?

After forking out for a roof repair or replacement, the last thing you want is to discover the job has been done poorly. Roofing is a tricky job for those without proper training and experience and should only be done by those qualified to do so.

Roof issues can often be clear and visible to homeowners, such as loose or missing tiles. But in some cases, the problems run deeper and aren’t as noticeable. So, it’s not always easy to know if your roof has been fixed properly. Luckily, we’re here to help…

The home

If you’ve recently had work done on your roof, you should immediately start to notice a difference. Whether you were suffering from damp, leaks or a lack of proper insulation, those issues should start to clear up as soon as your roof has been fixed properly.

If those problems continue once the roof has been ‘fixed’, chances are you need a second opinion. Like we’ve already discussed, some roof problems aren’t as obvious as a leak or light coming into your attic. If you suspect your roofer hasn’t done a quality job, a professional roof inspection is the only way to discover hidden issues.

The roofer

There are a few signs to look out for that suggest your roofer may not be as trustworthy as you’d like. First of all, if they claim to be a ‘jack of all trades’, they typically won’t have the skills or man power necessary to perform a good job.

If they’ve completed the job quicker than you’d expect, for much cheaper than you’d think, or you’ve not heard anything from them after attempting to get in touch, the roof repairs may not be up to scratch.
