So, your roof is aging, you might have found some cracked tiles or rusted gutters, or your ceiling might be leaking water. There are many tell-tale signs that your roof needs repairing or restoring. And there are some very good reasons why you shouldn’t try to make those repairs yourself. Here are 5 reasons why you should have your roof inspected by a professional roofing company.
- The Law
There seems to be a bit of a misconception among some of the general public that roofing is a relatively unregulated industry in Australia. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The entire construction industry in Australia is heavily regulated, and roofing is no different. Only qualified roofers can undertake roof repair and restoration work, only qualified roof plumbers can replace roof gutters or downpipes, and all safety standards set by WorkSafe must be met, including the use of scaffolding, guard rails and harnesses where necessary.
- Safety
Attempting roofing work yourself can be a very dangerous decision. There are numerous risks involved that could result in severe injury or even death. Falling from even a single storey roof can be catastrophic.
- Experience
Even if you manage to start repair work on your roof without injuring yourself, there is a strong chance that you could make a mistake or mess up the job completely. Even if you think you have pretty good knowledge of roofs, how they’re constructed and how maintain them, you lack the experience to complete the job to the same level as an industry professional. YouTube can only teach you so much, and even then, it should be cautioned that the internet contains a lot of misinformation that can mislead even intelligent individuals.
- Peace of Mind
The peace of mind one can get from hiring an industry leader to carry out roofing work should not be underestimated. Most quality roofing companies employ expert roofers with years of experience, and they will also usually offer a guarantee of up to ten years on the work carried out by the company.
- Quality Workmanship
This one is a pretty obvious benefit of hiring a professional roofing company to restore or repair your roof. A good company’s work speaks for itself.
