If you own a commercial building or your business operates from one, summer presents the perfect opportunity to address issues with roofing.
Repair and renovation projects are commonly performed during the warmer months of the year, helping to prevent problems such as water damage, flooding and structural damage.
Here we look at a few of the reasons that you should consider undertaking commercial roofing works with a professional contractor this summer.
Weather
It makes sense that performing key works to improve roofing is much easier in periods where the weather is more clement. This is especially true when tiles are being replaced or a large-scale renovation is being performed, as the top of the building will be more exposed to the elements.
Upgrades
Though small running repairs can be performed throughout the year, summer offers an opportunity to implement large scale improvements to a commercial roof. This can include full restoration projects and key maintenance such as a roof striping, re-sheeting, re-tiling and re-cladding.
Treatments
As part of repair and renovation works on flat roofs it is common for installations to be treated with specialist water-resistant coatings (PU). These treatments are best applied in the warmer months where they have time to set and dry, offering a better level of long-term protection.
Economy
If your commercial roofing requires work, it makes sense to have work done during the summer before the cold and wet months return. Performing repair and renovation to roofing now will help to prevent costly damage and downtime during the winter, when works will be harder to perform.
Value
If you are considering selling a commercial building you are likely to find buyers will be discouraged by a potential out lay on roofing upgrades. Performing key works this summer will not only make your property more attractive on the property market, but will also raise the sale value.
