Re-roofing is not always necessary when your roof begins to date, appear old or deteriorate. More often than not, with the skilled application of professional roof restoration, we can not only help correct existing faults and better the visual appeal of the roof, but also prolong the lifespan by many years to come. At Glasgow Roofmasters, our professional roof restoration service will return a tired roof to a solid, attractive and above all watertight state. Having over 25 years of experience in this industry, we know the importance of keeping your property protected from the weather here in Scotland.

Glasgow roof restoration could be a more cost-effective choice when the existing roof structure is solid and we have the ability to repair it. We provide our restoration service to combat typical ageing issues like worn surfaces, cracked or broken tiles, insecure coverings, moss, algae, faded patches, permeable surface, broken joints, and other issues that could ultimately lead to water ingress. When we are able to identify and treat the early stages of these issues, we can often prevent them from escalating into much larger, much more costly issues.

The first step in our most complete roof restoration service is a thorough evaluation. We will always carry out a free, obligation-free inspection before we suggest any work is carried out. During this inspection we will thoroughly check your roof surface and the covering of your choice (e.g. The tiles), flashings, joints, surfaces and any specific areas that may have porosity, moss or cracking.

After the inspection we go through what problems we have found and talk through if restoration is the right course of action. If we recommend work to the property owner, we will supply a written quote detailing the likely cost, what the work would entail and the time scale. This quote is without obligation and allows the property owner to make a sensible decision on their roof.

We approach restoration in a detailed way. A typical procedure includes a hot water and power washing to rid the roof of moss, algae, soil, pollution, pollen and other contamination. An algaecide is applied after cleaning to prevent the roof from re-establishing molds and organisms at a rapid pace. The deep cleaning we do on the roof during this phase of restoration is critical to the success of the base coat adhesion.

Once washed off and allowed to dry, we make all the repairs needed. Whether that be loose roof coverings and tiles, broken or cracked tiles, damage to the roof coverings or junctions, porous roofs, flashings or penetrations. These are then inspected to make sure that these are all in tip top condition in readiness to receive the final, protective treatment. A primer is then applied to prep the roof and lay a strong foundation for the protective top coat.

The last of the protective sealant comes in a selection of colours and textures, meaning that the roof can be repaired to match the property. The treatment is intended to give a more consistent look to the roof and also safeguard it against water, UV light, changes in temperature, severe weather, and pollution. This is a roof restoration to both look and feel better.

In the event that your roof has been adequately restored, it could be the extra 10 to 20 years of service. The longevity depends on what type of roof it is, what materials it is made of, and to what degree it has been subjected to severity of weather and deterioration. Roofing Materials are unique and they respond uniquely to restoration.

Felt membranes, shingles, tiles, asphalt, slate, and others all present different challenges and require different approaches.

We work on most roof types including flat roofs and pitched roofs, with any approach we take tailored to the building and not to the next property.

A Glasgow roof restoration can offer additional advantages and that is that it can prevent water ingress causing damage to walls, insulation, rafters, internal finishes and other parts of the property. Protecting the roof in this way may help to lessen heat loss where insulation or other appropriate upgrades are included as part of a restoration. Additionally, a good-looking and well-kept roof can make a property look more attractive.

Throughout the duration of all our renovations safety is a primary concern to us. With the fact that construction work is performed above ground level, at heights we do a complete risk assessment prior to work commencing. We look at all variables such as height and pitch of the roof, the weather, pedestrian or vehicle traffic, limited access, slippery surfaces, loose tiles and any other hazards at the property. Depending on the property available safety equipment such as fall arrest, scaffolding, ladders, safety lines and lifting platforms may be used.

How much does Glasgow roof restoration cost? Every property is different and the costs of roof restoration can vary according to the size of your roof, the existing condition of your roof, the type of materials used, height of the roof, the access, the slope of the roof, waste removal needs and any unique features involved. If your roof has severe moss build-up or has experienced a lot of damage then more work will be involved.

The Glasgow roof restoration cost and price therefore must be determined after the roof has been inspected. This is most accurately achieved when we can view the roof yourself through a set of excellent photographs or video, or we can provide a free survey where a surveyor can look at your roof in detail. We can then give a more accurate quote.

We offer a comprehensive five-year workmanship guarantee on our restoration work and the materials are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. When we finish working on the property we carry out a check and test of the restored roof, clean the site and leave you with some basic maintenance and care guidance. Waste from cleaning is washed down, and recycled/disposed of appropriately.

Where we excel is our honesty. We don't think that all ageing roofs need replacing and we only advise you on renovation where we're of the opinion it's the right option. Where repairing, restoring or replacing is the better option, we're always upfront about this with you and aim to give you a professional finish whilst keeping the work quick, safe and affordable.

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, business owner or property owner with an ageing roof you would like to give a new lease of life, Glasgow Roofmasters provide the complete roof restoration service, starting from our initial site inspection, right up until the final clean-up and guidance on maintenances. Has your roof become sun-bleached, is covered in moss, are there missing or cracked tiles, or it simply appears tired and worn after years of exposure?
