Inspection and maintenance of roofs

• We advise you to be a prudent owner and perform inspection of your existing roof along with any maintenance works needed sooner rather than after problems have already come to light.
• Free roof inspection if you order renovation works from us!

• Regular maintenance of the roof enables to discover and eliminate arisen problems early and avoid considerable expenses on early large-scale renovation works.
• We recommend visual inspection of the roof at least twice (2) a year (in spring and autumn) and simultaneous performance of any maintenance work needed, if necessary.
• We advise to use workers with appropriate competence for performance of maintenance works on the roof.

In normal circumstances, it is not necessary to remove snow from a flat roof. It should be done when there is too much load on the load-bearing structure or if there is a reason to fear hazardous situations caused by snow falling off the roof.

• Any tools that are needed to perform the works must not be sharp (shovels with round corners and no reinforced edge).
• Ice must be removed by using defrosting substances, gas flame or hot water (not by chiselling with an axe, shovel or crowbar).
• Snow is removed from roofs layer-by-layer, leaving an at least 10 cm protective layer on the roof.
• Falling of snow from upper layers of the roof to lower layers must be avoided.
  Accumulation of snow in piles on the roof must be avoided.
