Roof Remedial Works
A roof is an uppermost part of a building that protects the building and occupants against exposure to the weather. Generally, a roof not only protects primarily against rain, but it may also protect against some climate factors such as cold, heat, sunlight, and wind.
Flat roof is one type of covering of a building. It can be horizontal or nearly horizontal which is in contrast to a slightly slope form of horizontal surface to allow water to run off into a gutter system. It is quite difficult to do a survey or inspection on a flat roof unless there is an adjacent building surround to allow a view above the building.
A pitch roof is a roof made up of two angled pieces which meet in the middle, with gables at either end. Both sides of the pitch roof are generally the same, although sometimes they may be pitched at different angles for aesthetic reasons.
Roof sagging can be found in both old and new buildings, it can be seen from the exterior of the roof. Sagging in the roof tends to be caused by the faulty design of the roof struts and the incorrect design of strutting beams.
The connection or bearing points of a rot timber roof frame can lead to an unbalanced force that is being imposed on the supporting walls, sagging may likely occur as the roof transfer loads.
The remedy work for sagging on the roof is reconstructing the strutting beam of the roof. It is necessary to replace a new structure if the roof sagged very seriously and the new structure must be able to support the finishes.
Failure of the roof can be in a variety of reasons such as poor construction, poor design, and lack of maintenance. Thus, extensive repair works need to carry out to major failures.
Ecostrut can design, construct any new roof structure and also restore existing structures to original or better conditions.
As part of a roof maintenance agreement, a professional roofing consultant can perform periodic inspections and recommend that minor problems be corrected before they become troublesome.
After the inspection of the roof, a report of general roof condition is submitted to the client after each inspection, with recommendations for immediate and future action needed.
