How to Prepare your Roof in your London Home

8/10/2021 (Permalink)

Storms occur in and out of every month even if it is not a typical storm season. The best way to make sure that you do not end up costing yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars is to prepare your roof as best you can before the storm. 

The best way to prevent future damage is to fix the damage that has already occurred from winter, animals, hail, lightning, or other debris. Here are a few signs to look for to make sure you do not have a roof that will be more prone to severe storm damage: 

1. Look for missing shingles 
2. Look for areas that are bending or sagging in places
3. Look for animal footprints or signs of animals left behind 
4. Look for gaps and other signs of damage left from anything else that has been on your roof that you are aware of, like tv satellites and other equipment.

If you tend to your roof beforehand, your roof will more likely hold up against the storm. It may not prevent all storm damage from occurring in your London home, but it can help minimize future and more obtrusive damages.
