Roofing Notting Hill carries out roof repairs. Most leaks at the roof hatch or skylight are caused by incorrect installation of the external flashing or the sealing flange of the window or hatch, or damage to these safeguards. Whenever a leak is found next to a roof window or a hatch, we should first check that the sealing flange is complete and that all its components have been properly connected. It sometimes happens that roofers do not install any element of the flashing, which loses its insulating function. The collar itself should be matched to the type of roofing material used in a given place (the height of the ribs is particularly important). If the collar or any of its parts is simply damaged, it must be replaced. If we locate the leak near the roof window, the leak may be caused by insufficient insulation of the window frame, causing local freezing. In such a situation, the most effective solution is to cut the plasterboard casing and install this additional form of thermal insulation between the frame and the rafters. The best way to reduce the risk of leaks in the roof will certainly be the above-mentioned regular roof inspections by specialists and preventive inspection of sensitive areas from time to time on your own. The basis for taking care of the tightness of our roof will also always be immediate removal of defects, as soon as they are discovered, preventing the development of the leakage problem, and allowing to extend the durability of our roof structure.
