Roof Health Check

30 Dec 2017 9:00 AM -

Already blown your 2018 New Year’s resolution? Don’t worry, feel better by knocking a few easier ones over around the house!

Why not start with checking the state of your roofing system? The sun is shining, Christmas and New Year’s are done and dusted – nothing is standing in your way. You’ve probably been putting it off all year (or a few), so hit 2018 with some productivity.

Here’s a few pointers to get your roof health check started.

Take note of anything out of the ordinary. The most obvious signs will be found with your keen eye, such as:

* staining

* rust/corrosion

* loose/exposed flashing

* sagging gutters

* excessive build-up in downpipes

* penetrations

* paint blistering

* fascia problems

* loosened brackets

* hail damage

* seam/edge damage

* any other obvious signs: leaks, mould etc.

Getting on top of these trouble signs early can negate costly repairs, replacements, and headaches in the future. Many of these can be amended, whether by DIY (depending on your capabilities), or a roofing professional. However, the quality of the replacement supplies are as important as the installation.

Mack Bros has a range of durable, design flexible roofing products suited to Australian homes. Need to replace a few gutter brackets or some fascia? Check out our fascia gutter product guide. Need a length of gutter or a few sheets of Colorbond to match your existing roof?

Spot fixes for homes and businesses can vastly extend the life of the roof. Many people hesitate in committing to repairs in fear of the cost of roofing supplies or thinking that some slight damage can withstand a little longer.

If you see a problem – act. Whether it’s your roof, gutters, or downpipes, the issue won’t fix itself and will only get worse over time. Having a readily available supplier like Mack Bros makes the process simple and affordable.
