Roofing FAQ

Cost Affecting Factors

Factors influencing roofing costs include:

Materials: Choosing between longrun metal or tiled roofs, and deciding between standard or marine-grade coatings impacts costs.

Roof Pitch: Lower slopes generally mean lower costs compared to steeper pitches.

Height: Taller roofs typically incur higher expenses due to increased materials and labor requirements.

Accessibility: Considerations such as delivery access, site accessibility, and ease of roof access affect overall costs.

Labor: The complexity of the roof design and the estimated time for completion influence labor costs.

6. **Location**: Proximity to the sea may necessitate marine-grade coatings, which are more costly. Rural locations might incur extra charges for material delivery.

7. **Special Equipment**: Requirements like cranes for material lifting or specialized trucks impact costs.

8. **Safety**: Depending on safety needs like full scaffolding or edge protection, and any necessary electrical isolations, expenses may vary.
Will insurance cover the costs

Typically, home insurance policies will reimburse the cost of repairing or replacing your roof due to sudden, unforeseen events or natural disasters. This coverage extends to incidents like a tree falling on your roof during a storm, damaging cladding sheets, where repairs are necessary.

However, gradual wear and tear or deterioration over time is not covered by insurance. For example, internal damage caused by a long-term leaking roof that has exceeded its expected lifespan falls under maintenance responsibilities and would not qualify for insurance coverage.
When it’s time to act

Homeowners bear the responsibility of maintaining their roofs to ensure longevity. Regular inspections and upkeep play a crucial role in achieving this. Tasks like clearing gutters, pruning trees, and annually washing areas not reached by rainwater are essential.

As a guideline, signs such as rust, deterioration of soft edge mesh under the ridge, missing or protruding fixings on roof sheets, lifting laps on sheets, or horizontally overlaid short sheets indicate potential issues. Seeking professional assessment can provide insight into the roof’s condition and guidance on when re-roofing may be necessary.
Build to last

After re-roofing, your roof should last at least until the end of the manufacturer’s specified warranty period, which your roofing installer will provide upon completion of the work. Typically, roofs are expected to exceed this base warranty period significantly. However, weather conditions and climate can impact lifespan, especially if specific environmental guidelines, such as those for sea spray or industrial emissions, aren’t followed. Here’s a rough estimate of expected lifespans for different roof types, which can vary based on climate and exposure:

– Longrun metal / metal tile roofing: 40+ years
– Membrane / rubber roofing: 30+ years
– Composite tile / shingle roofing: 12-20 years
– Asphalt shingle roofing: 15-20 years

The roof structure itself should endure for the duration of the house’s lifetime and typically doesn’t require replacement when new roof coverings are installed. However, this assumes the external cladding remains watertight throughout its lifespan without prolonged exposure to leaks.
A sound investment

While the initial expenses of a significant renovation like re-roofing might seem intimidating, it’s one of the most worthwhile investments for your home’s future security. A new roof typically guarantees at least 30 years of protection, ensuring your family’s comfort and safety for decades. Additionally, if you’re considering selling, a fresh roof enhances your home’s value and curb appeal. A well-maintained exterior gives your property a competitive edge in the real estate market compared to similar listings.
