Spring is finally here, bringing some nicer weather and more colour to gardens, parks, and other spaces. However, this is one of the busiest times of the year for roof inspections and property maintenance. It’s a good idea to do it now to check the condition of buildings after a cold, wet winter. You can then be proactive with cleaning, repairs, and other jobs before they have a chance to get worse. We can help, providing drone surveys across the North East of England and beyond. They are ideal if you want a quick, detailed condition report.
Look for signs of damage
The first thing you should do is get an inspection of the roof to check for any signs of damage. There could be all kinds of problems, including missing or damaged materials, loose or damaged flashing, broken seals, pooling water, or water stains. Discovering them as soon as possible will save you time and money, potentially ensuring you avoid more costly roof replacement.
If you have a flat roof, there are a number of key things to look for. Most importantly, check for signs of cracks, tears, or punctures. Pay close attention to seams; they tend to be the most vulnerable spots.
Check for debris
Autumn and winter are challenging seasons for properties. One of the big problems is leaves, sticks, and other debris can easily get onto roofs and into gutters. It can then lead to problems like blockages. Spring is a really good time to check the roof, guttering, and downspouts.
Look for moss and algae
The weather in autumn and winter is ideal for things to grow on your roof, particularly moss and algae. However, the growths can cause lots of problems, including damaging roof materials and causing leaks. So, it’s a good idea to check if there is anything growing on the roof in spring. You can then take action to get rid of it.
Choose drone surveys
