It’s important to have a roof over our heads. It’s even more important to make sure that your roof serves its purpose, keeps out the elements and isn’t responsible for a massive energy bill when all the heat escapes up through it. So if you are having work done to your roof, you want it to be quality work and you want it to last. Using MyHammer you can hire a professional and qualified roofer to fix that leak, repair the chimney or install new guttering. By looking at the tradesman’s ratings you can see how local people like your neighbours rated him or her on quality, reliability and friendliness. It’s also important to see if he or she has uploaded any references such as pictures of a newly re-lined gutter, a repaired and newly tiled roof or a balcony that the expert has built etc and failure to deal with a problem like a blocked drainpipe or cracked tile could develop into a catastrophe especially over the winter months. Water damage from overflowing gutters could even damage the foundations of your house or at best cost you a lot more money than had you posted a job on MyHammer and had a specialist roofer attend to your roofing, guttering, tiling or flashing needs. If you are renovating a house then you will probably need the services of a roofing expert for sheeting, cladding etc or maybe you need to retile your roof after storm damage. Roofing companies offer choices in tiles ranging from stone, slate and tile roofing and work with a range of materials such as lead or felt. Maintenance to a roof is a lot cheaper than having to replace and re-tile roofs. If you are having a loft conversion you will need to hire a quality tradesman to install, fit, replace a roof window such as velux window. Jobs involving soffits and fascias can be posted on MyHammer where rated and qualified tradespeople can quote on your job. Whether it’s a flat roof for a carport or a pitched roof for a house, bungalow or conservatory, all rooves will need to be cleared of moss and dirt and cleaned at some point as well as clearing leaves out of gutters and drainpipes, which sound simple enough but at that height jobs like these are best left to the professionals and their specialist roofing equipment, in fact untrained people often cause more damage to the roof by walking on the wrong areas and breaking tiles and loose or cracked tiles or slates no matter where in the UK can be dangerous if they fall. A roof surveyor to help you with a new build or renovation can be found on MyHammer either by posting a job or by looking in the MyHammer directory.
