Bawburgh roofing contractors in Yorkshire and the Humber

Whether you own a home or a business in England, you can bet that an asphalt shingle roof covers and protects it. The average age of the typical shingle roof can range anywhere from 10-15 years, depending upon the weather conditions they are subjected to and the materials used in the installation. One of the best ways to extend that lifespan as long as possible is through the use of preventative roof repairs, general maintenance and an annual roofing inspection. Without these three important aspects of building care, you can bet that an emergency roof repair will strike you sooner or later. Even the tiniest of roof leaks are a serious threat to your home or business. That’s because when water enters the warm and dark recesses of your attics, walls and ceiling insulation, mold, fungus and mildew can begin to form and grow.
