Call McShane Roofing Today

Every day you look at your roof, your neighbour’s roof, in fact probably over the course of a day, you might see hundreds of roofs, but what notice do you take of them?

Are you aware of how incredibly complicated a roofing system is, and that a little bit of knowledge about your roof might save you hundreds of pounds to prevent anything going wrong with yours one day?

Beneath that roof is some trade secrets… Roof Repair Rye

In Rye, we often experience roof issues, which are due to the fact that we don’t live too far from the sea. We carry out emergency roofing in Rye.

Salt

Sea salt is the villain of this story … salt is often an overlooked factor of roof damage and decay in coastal areas as it erodes and can ‘eat’ most substances if it’s given enough time and exposure. It can often attack masonry as when the sea salt lands on the stone or brick, and it can cause a lot of decay due to its corrosive compounds. On the coastal areas, the air carries water vapour which contains enormous amounts of salt, which can attack our poor unsuspecting roofs.

Humidity

If salt is public enemy number 1 for a building and its roof, then humidity is a close second. Like salt, moisture and humidity can speed up natural damage and decay that occurs in your roof. It is the moist air that helps mould and mildew grow in the dark and moist corners of your roof and guttering.

These can cause nasty stains on your interior roof and can lead to severe health conditions such as asthma attacks, lung infections, and allergic reactions.

If your roof is covered in shingles or tiles which are old, broken, or missing, then you’re very likely to be at risk from mould and mildew infestations.

A typical roof not far from the sea in Hastings means that there is likely to be some extreme temperatures, and a moist environment is a perfect place for mould to grow and fester …

Get on top

If you are having issues with your roof because of these environmental issues, then perhaps it’s time for you to consider a different type of roofing material …

In recent years metal roofs have become extremely popular, particularly for houses that aren’t too far from the seaside and have to face regular battering from the natural elements.

Copper and stainless steel are resilient metals that can be used in coastal areas – copper, for example, has a resilient non-ferrous patina in which salt deposits find challenging to penetrate.

Because salt can penetrate certain metal roofs, it is sensible to seek the advice of the experts – McShane Roofing in Rye and Leonards-On-Sea is a professional family-run roofing business who can share their skills and knowledge of which roofing material would work best for you if you are being hit by a force of nature!

"The two roofers were polite and neat and clean workers clearing up every day after work and when the work was completed. They took care with what they were doing and from an unqualified eye they appear to have done a very good job."
