Re-Roofing for Heritage Buildings

On a heritage building, the roof not only shelters you from the weather but is often an important part of its historic significance, too. While regular roof maintenance will extend the life of your roof a great deal, you will eventually need to replace the roof completely.

If you’re looking for professional re-roofing services on your heritage building, it’s important to first seek help from an experienced roofing specialist – trusted roofers who have the experience, necessary skills and expertise to safely conduct repairs on older and heritage listed buildings.

When to Replace a Metal Heritage Roof 

Metal roofs are known for being durable and corrosion resistant; however, the damage that they sustain is often irreparable. For instance, erosion, corrosion and environmental damage should not simply be patched up; if your historic building’s metal roof has suffered this type of damage, it is time to replace it. To be sure, you can have a roofing specialist come and assess your heritage roof. They can tell you what needs to be done and offer a comprehensive quote.

Make Sure That Your Heritage Roof Receives the Proper Care

If your historic building’s roof needs to be replaced, do not wait. Significant roof damage affects the entire building and can accumulate to cause major, structural issues. For more information on when to replace a roof on a heritage building, contact us today at Manchester Roofing on 07 3490 8480 or fill out our online contact form.
