New Roof Installation FAQs

Planning a new roof installation? Find answers to common questions and connect with reputable roofing contractors in UK on Roofyng.co.uk.

What is the difference between a roofer and a roof inspector?

Though both deal with roofs, their roles are distinct:
Roofer: A skilled tradesperson who performs the hands-on work of installing, repairing, or replacing roofs.
Roof Inspector: A qualified professional who assesses the roof's condition and provides a detailed report of their findings, without doing repairs.

What is a roof valley, and why is it a common leak area?

A roof valley is the V-shaped intersection where two roof slopes meet. It's a common leak area because:
  • Water Concentration: Valleys channel a significant volume of water runoff.
  • Flashing Complexity: Flashing in valleys requires precise installation for a watertight seal.
  • Debris Buildup: Leaves and debris can accumulate in valleys, trapping moisture and leading to deterioration.
Proper installation and regular maintenance of valley flashing are crucial for leak prevention.

What is a drip edge?

A drip edge is a metal flashing installed along the eaves and rakes (edges) of a roof. It helps to:
  • Direct water runoff into the gutters, preventing it from dripping onto the fascia and causing damage.
  • Prevent wind-driven rain from getting under the shingles.
  • Improve the aesthetic appearance of the roof's edges.

What are the signs that a new roof was installed incorrectly?

Signs of a poorly installed roof include:
  • Leaks: Recurring leaks shortly after installation.
  • Misaligned Shingles: Shingles that are uneven, crooked, or have gaps.
  • Visible Nails or Fasteners: Exposed nails or fasteners that are not properly sealed.
  • Improper Flashing: Flashing that is loose, damaged, or installed incorrectly.
  • Inadequate Ventilation: Signs of poor ventilation, such as excessive heat or moisture in the attic.
If you notice any of these signs, contact your roofing contractor immediately.
