Roof related structures which may require your attention
Chimneys
Chimney stacks should be checked regularly for any potential problems. By keeping an eye on their condition or change of condition, repairs can be carried out as soon as they are required, preventing further dampness penetrating.
Flashing
Flashing is used around the base of the stack to seal and weatherproof the stack to the roof surface. It is also used where a roof meets a wall or around a dormer window. It can be a mortar, tiled or metal flashing, such as lead, zinc or copper. Metal flashing is available in sections, made for use around a chimney stack or can be purchased in rolls, of varying widths and materials.
Guttering
The purpose of guttering is to efficiently channel rain water from the roof towards a downpipe which in turn carries it down to ground level and then into the drainage system. This system helps to stop the walls of the house becoming saturated and causing problems with dampness.
