JSV Roofing Hexham offer a fast and responsive roof repair service because roof leaks need to be fixed quickly to prevent water damage inside your home.

This in turn, can lead to water to seeping into the roof space which can go on to cause damage to the alls and ceilings of your home. JSV Roofing offer a fast and responsive roof repair service.

3. Damaged flashing. Flashing is the metal material that creates a seal around chimneys where they meet the roof, vents and roof windows. If flashing is damaged, it can allow water to leak into the roof and needs to be fixed straight away.

4. Clogged gutters and downpipes. Gutters and downspipes collect rainwater and carry it away from the house. If they are clogged as a result of debris such as leaves, water can back up and cause damage to the roof and exterior walls of your home.

5. Roof Moss. As well as being unsightly, roof moss can also cause damage to your roof. Moss grows on and between roof tiles and because it absorbs water like a sponge, when it freezes it expands and that can start to push up roof tiles and even cause they to crack creating the opportunity for roof leaks. JSV Roofing hand scape off roos moss and can treat your roof to prevent roof moss from returning. Ask us for details!

6. Wooden fascias and soffits. Many older homes are fitted with wooden fascias, soffits and gable ends. If these are not properly maintained, they will start to rot cause water and even rodents such as squirells to get into the roof space of your home leading to additional damage. JSV Roofing fit high quality, low-maintenance UPVC fascias and soffits which never need maintenance and are available in a range of colours and styles to suit the look and design of your home.

7. Poor ventilation. Proper ventilation helps to prevent moisture from building up in the roof, which can cause damage. If the roof is not properly ventilated, it can lead to mold, mildew, and rotting. UPVC soffits are also vented to create air circulation in your roof space to prevent damp.

8. Deterioration. Roof tiles will deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements. In general, concrete and clay roof tiles should last between 60 to 70 years provided the roof has been reasonably well maintained and natural slate should last up to 100 years or more. JSV Roofing install new and replacement roofs to a high standard so when the time comes that your existing roof is no longer economical to repair, your new roof will stand the test of time.

9. Crumbling cement work. The ridge tiles on your roof are almost certain to be held in place by cement which should be repointed every 20 to 25 years or so to prevent the ridge tiles from becoming loose. JSV Roofing also offer dry roof fixings where the ridge tiles are secured in place by roof fixings rather the cement which will last up to three times longer and strenghten your roof against storm damage.
