Flat and pitched roofers have a design life, this includes the related fittings such as roof flashing, fascias and soffits and gutters and downpipes. Aspects that can determine the design life of a roof and its related fittings include, the material composition, the type of roof (e.g., flat, pitched, hip) and the external climate the roof has to endure. Taking this all in to consideration, a roofs lifespan can be between 15-100 years. As you would expect, roofs that have to endure more challenging weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, snow, icy conditions etc., will, almost certainly, have a shorter lifespan. In addition, our roofers in Cambridge, advise the design and material make up of a flat roof means they usually require more maintenance and replacing than pitched roofs.

How to identify if my roof needs replacing?

Hightop Roofers Cambridge understand that being unfamiliar with roofing systems can make it difficult to recognize when the time is right for an upgrade. But, we are here to ensure your building's roof and structure stays safe and sound! 


Here are some signs to look for on the outside of your flat or pitched roof:


  • Your roof covering is showing signs of deterioration – this includes crack, slipped/missing roof tiles and wear and tear to your flat roof covering. Left untreated, these problems can cause further costly damage to your building structure. 


  • Growing moss and algae – moss and algae on your roof can be a sign that the area has retained moisture. Left unattended, this extra moisture could quickly lead to accelerated wear-and-tear for property owners – something our experienced roofers in Cambridge are well aware of. 


  • Pooling water - if you ever notice standing pools of water on your roof, it's time to take immediate action. This is a sign that the drainage system for your flat roof isn't functioning optimally and can lead to serious issues like leaks or structural damage if left unattended. Don't wait: address this problem right away. 


  • Flashing is in poor condition - damaged roof flashing can result in serious water damage to a property. Roofers Cambridge advise that any signs of pulling away, tears or missing sections should be addressed urgently. 


  • Roof age - If your pitched roof is nearing 100 years old, or if the flat roof is close to half of that age, consider investing in a new replacement and take advantage of modern materials for improved protection from weather.


Our Hightop Roofing Cambridge team have highlighted some signs you can look for in your inside roof space: 


  • A roof that sags - if you notice your roofs' sagging, it may be indicative of underlying issues. Flat roofs are particularly prone to this phenomenon and should be evaluated by an experienced professional as soon as possible! Roofers Cambridge advise all homeowners to keep their eyes out for any signs that could suggest trouble for the structure's longevity and safety. 


  • Your roof may be letting the light in - if so, it's a sure sign that there are holes or damaged tiles on your rooftop. Time to call your local roofers in Cambridge for professional advice. 


  • Leaks - if you find wet spots or damp insulation in your loft, this could be a sign of serious damage to the roof. Be sure to take swift action if any leaks are present – it saves having costly repairs later on.

Aspects to consider when choosing a new roof

Deciding to invest in a new roof for your building should never be taken lightly. To ensure you make the right choice, select an option that will stand strong through challenging weather. Our experienced team of roofers in Cambridge have some key factors to consider before moving forward with installation. 


Consider the weather - Keeping your roof in top condition is essential for Cambridge property owners. With regular rainfall and cold temperatures, it's important to focus on insulation, drainage and waterproofing. Investing a bit more in a well-insulated pitched roof will pay off over time - something all good local roofing companies in Cambridge are sure to point out. 


Material make up - When it comes to your roof covering, you have a wide variety of options available. Slate and concrete tiles are often used on pitched roofs while shingles can be employed across all types depending due to their lightweight character. Roofs which face harsher conditions need materials that will stand the test of time; in this case, tiles may prove more durable. Ethylene Polypropylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is typically used for flat roofs. No matter what type or material you choose though, make sure to seek advice from experienced professionals such as Hightop Roofers Cambridge before commencing any work.


Inside roof space - when you're looking to make the most of your roof, consider if an internal area is necessary. Without this requirement a flat roof might be more suitable; however, gable roofs are ideal for achieving that extra attic bedroom or storage room! Our Cambridge based roofers can help advise on finding the perfect solution for your needs. 


The style of property - replacing a roof on your home is an important decision. With so many styles and materials to choose from, make sure you select one that complements the period and look of your property for maximum kerb appeal. Does it have listed status? If so, be aware that any alterations must gain approval by the local authority - contact us at Roofers Cambridge today for expert advice.

Roofers Cambridge -  6 Most Common Roof Repairs 

If you're a building owner, roof repairs are practically inevitable. But at Hightop Roofers Cambridge, we make sure that our customers and website visitors have the knowledge to address any issues they might encounter - from common problems with flat roofs or pitched ones. Here's what six of these typical fixes involve! 


  • Tile or shingle repairs - your roof is vulnerable to external elements and over time, can become worn or damaged. Loose shingles are a common indication that your roof needs repairing; ignoring the warning signs may result in costly repairs down the line. Our roofers in Cambridge recommend surveying your rooftop annually and making any necessary repairs as soon as possible – acting promptly could save you from escalating damage and costs.


  • Roof Leaks - roof leaks can cause serious damage to both the inside and outside of your home, from structural issues to interior fixtures. But what are some potential causes? According to Hightop Roofers Cambridge experts, they could be due a variety of things such as missing or broken tiles/shingles, deteriorated roof flashing around chimneys and vents - even gutter clogs. If you're experiencing any problem with water ingress in your property, it's best not delay; speak with an expert before more significant repairs become necessary. 


  • Repairs to roof flashing - keep your roof protected against the elements with routine inspections of its flashing. Flashing is designed to seal any joints and prevent leaks, however weather or defective fitting can leave it vulnerable. If you spot anything wrong contact our team in Cambridge immediately - they will be able to provide trustworthy advice on repairing any damage as soon as possible. 


  • Standing water - rainwater pooling on flat roofs can cause serious damage, from structural issues to leaked ceilings. KMC Roofers Cambridge warn that standing water due to inadequate drainage networks or wear-and-tear of the roof structure increase the risk for leaks and costly repairs if left unchecked.  


  • Poor ventilation - Hightop Roofing Cambridge know that to keep your roof in great condition, good ventilation is key. Poor airflow can lead to the development of mould and decay on timber rafters - which could significantly reduce its lifespan if left unchecked. ]


  • Gutter system repairs – Hightop Roofers Cambridge recommend regularly maintaining your guttering system - both the downpipes and gutters. Without proper care, rainwater can become blocked in the pipes which then prevent it from being directed away safely– causing flooding at ground level or around your property. Not only is this a nuisance but standing water also puts stress on structural foundations leading to potentially costly damage over time. 


Typical Roof Repair Prices by Hightop Roofers in Cambridge


A roof repair can be a major expense, but with the help of our roofers in Cambridge you are better prepared to understand how much general roofing repairs may cost. Different materials and job sizes influence costs in various ways; for instance, complete roof replacements on an average-sized roof will be more expensive than replacing one damaged area of slate tiles, however it is important to keep in mind that it may be more cost effective to have a roof replacement, rather than pay for multiple repairs. Check out the table below for some typical average costs you can expect to pay for common roofing tasks in Cambridge. Keep in mind that these costs represent typical averages, but the actual price you may pay will be dependent on numerous factors including the size of your roof, the complexity of the work and the materials required.

HIGHTOP ROOFERS IN CAMBRIDGE - FASCIAS AND SOFFITS 

Hightop Roofers Cambridge provide a variety of fascia and soffit solutions for any type of building. Whether you're looking to replace an existing roof or build something new, we can help – with options ranging from dependable PVC through aluminium up to beautiful timber options. Put your trust in our experienced roofers in Cambridge today and get yourself a free unbeatable quote! 

What are Fascias and Soffits? 

Fascias and soffits are essential components of any roof. Like puzzle pieces, fascias fit snugly at the rafter's end while soffit boards lock underneath them to create a tight seal that shields your home from inclement weather conditions. Soffits affix along one side of the wall and securely attach to fascia lips for superior protection against drafts, moisture intrusion or heat loss!

Why are Facias and Soffits Important?

Fascia and soffit panels are essential for sealing off the edges of your roof to protect timber rafters from water damage, unwanted wildlife entering your property, plus they add aesthetic appeal. Roofing Cambridge professionals emphasise that these boards are also responsible for carrying weight from the first row of tiles as well as a base on which gutters can be mounted through brackets. 

How to know if your Fascias and Soffits need Replacing

After decades of enduring the elements, your roof's fascias and soffits may be in need of replacing. Our Hightop Roofers Cambridge team knows it can be difficult to tell from ground level if these panels are past their prime - but an important indicator is age: if they're more than 30 years old, there's a good chance that you'll have to opt for new ones! If made out of wood, take a closer look for rotting or splitting; flaking paint could just mean repainting will do the trick - however splintering timber indicates that replacements are necessary. So check today whether your fascias plus soffits require update – before any major damage ensues. 

Hightop Roofers Cambridge - Gutters 

Keeping your roof healthy is not just about the tiles, it's also important to maintain a well-functioning gutter system. Here at Hightop Roofers Cambridge we specialise in all types of gutters and downpipes, whether you need an entire replacement or minor repairs our experienced team can help protect your property against water damage with solutions for flat roofs and pitched roofs on domestic, commercial & industrial properties.

HIGHTOP ROOFERS CAMBRIDGE - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How to know if I need a new roof?

    Determining the necessity of a roof replacement for your UK property involves a combination of careful assessment, awareness of your roof's age, and consideration of local weather conditions. Below are key indicators hIightop Roofers Cambridge recommend to look for:


    Age of Roof: In the UK, roofing materials come with varying lifespans. If your roof is approximately 20-25 years old, it is nearing the end of its typical life expectancy. While materials like slate may endure longer, monitoring their condition remains essential.


    Visual Damage: Conduct a visual examination of your roof. Be vigilant for signs such as cracked, curled, or missing tiles or slates. Also, scrutinize any areas where the roof surface appears worn or damaged. Our roofers in Cambridge highlight that damaged roofing materials can permit water infiltration, leading to further problems.


    Leaks or Dampness: If you detect water stains on your ceilings or walls, or if dampness becomes apparent indoors following rainfall, it may signify roof leaks. Swiftly addressing leaks is imperative to prevent additional damage.


    Sagging Roof: A sagging roof could indicate underlying structural issues, which are common in older properties. If you identify any sagging or uneven sections on your roof, it is advisable to seek professional guidance immediately.


    Moss and Algae Growth: Given the UK's damp climate, the growth of moss, algae, or lichen on your roof can be problematic. These organisms have the potential to trap moisture and degrade roofing materials over time, leading to leaks.


    Loose or Missing Flashing: Inspect the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Loose or absent flashing can create openings for water to penetrate your roof.


    Daylight in Attic: During daylight hours, examine your attic. The presence of daylight filtering through cracks or holes in the roof suggests a compromised roof integrity.


    Higher Energy Bills: Inadequately insulated or ventilated roofs can result in increased heating expenses, particularly during the cold UK winters. A significant rise in your energy costs might be linked to the condition of your roof.


    Brittle or Crumbling Tiles: In the UK, clay or concrete tiles are commonplace. If you observe that these tiles are becoming brittle, crumbling, or displaying signs of excessive wear, it is an indication that they may require replacement.


    Worn Roof Valleys: Roof valleys, where two roof slopes converge, are prone to wear and tear due to water flow. If you notice missing or damaged tiles or slates in these areas, it suggests that the protective layers of your roof are compromised.


    Given the UK's fluctuating weather patterns, it is crucial to promptly address roofing issues. If you observe any of these signs, consider reaching out to a professional roofing company, like Hightop Roofers Cambridge for a comprehensive inspection and expert guidance on whether a new roof is warranted for your property.



  • What is a flat roof?

    At Hightop Roofers Cambridge, we understand the significance of providing property owners with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions when it comes to roofing projects. To facilitate this, our Roofing Cambridge team has outlined the fundamental stages involved in constructing a flat roof.


    Flat roofs are a prevalent choice for various structures in the UK, including garages, residential homes, commercial buildings, and extensions. One of the primary reasons for their popularity is their cost-effectiveness. However, it's crucial to be aware that flat roofs typically have a shorter lifespan compared to pitched roofs.


    The structural support for a flat roof is provided by timber joists, which are positioned along the shorter sides of the roof. A wooden base is then placed over these joists to distribute the load evenly. Our roofers in Cambridge consistently advise that a flat roof must have a slight pitch or slope, generally ranging between 1 and 10 degrees. This pitch allows for proper drainage of rainwater, snow, and ice, preventing water from pooling and potentially causing leaks.


    A wooden base is essential for attaching the final roof coverings securely. Typically constructed from materials like plywood or smartply, this base is affixed to the timber joists. To achieve optimal stability, the boards are staggered during installation. Depending on the intended use of the building, roofing insulation is applied at this stage. Once the base is in place, the final roof covering is installed. It is imperative to emphasize the correct installation of the final roof covering to ensure the roof remains watertight.


    There is a range of popular materials for flat roof coverings, including asphalt, bitumen, PVC, EPDM rubber, and applied liquid systems. Advances in technology and materials have enabled the construction of flat roofs with minimal maintenance requirements and extended lifespans.

  • How much are roofers in Cambridge?

    Here at Hightop Roofers Cambridge, we understand that the price for a roofer in Cambridge can vary widely depending on the experience level of the roofer, the type of work required, the specification of materials chosen and the complexity of the job. Additionally, the time of year will impact the cost of a roofer as you should expect to pay a higher rate during peak periods. With that said, you can expect to pay in the region of £200-£300 per day for a roofer in Cambridge, although most roofers will provide you with a price for the job as opposed to a day rate. Day rate works tend to be used for smaller one off repairs, whereas a fixed price for the job will likely present better value. 

  • Is a leaking roof dangerous?

    The importance of addressing a leaky roof promptly cannot be overstated, as it has the potential to inflict significant harm to your home. A leaky roof should be treated as a top priority. Common culprits behind roof leaks include a lack of regular maintenance, damage resulting from adverse weather conditions, or insufficient roof insulation.


    Hightop Roofers Cambridge strongly recommend addressing even the most minor leaks without delay, as prolonged water ingress can permeate the very foundations of a structure, leading to extensive and costly structural damage. There are several other key considerations when dealing with roof leaks. 


    Firstly, water infiltration can compromise the effectiveness of insulation, resulting in higher utility bills due to reduced energy efficiency. Moreover, interior dampness can foster the growth of mildew and mold, which can pose health concerns, particularly for individuals with asthma or sinus issues


    Secondly, untreated roof leaks can give rise to damage in the attic and ceilings. Water seepage is likely to cause deterioration of wall and ceiling surfaces, as well as potential damage to ceiling-mounted lighting fixtures. This may also raise safety concerns, especially if there is electrical wiring in the affected areas.


    In light of these potential consequences, the prudent course of action is to engage the services of a professional Roofing Cambridge team for timely roof leak repairs.
