Types of roof maintenance
Black Brook Roofing offers a variety of services for homeowners who want to maintain their roofs, including the following:
Roofing Inspections and Surveys
Roofs require regular maintenance, and Black Brook Roofing can perform roof inspections and surveys to assess your property’s current state of health.
Visual inspections with conventional photography
This method involves our roofers climbing onto your roof to look for any damage or wear and tear. They will take pictures of the areas they see as needing attention, so you can better understand what we are talking about when it comes time to repair anything that needs attention on your property.
Thermographic infra-red photography
Black Brook Roofing uses this method to identify any hot spots on the roof that may be a cause for concern. Our roofers with thermal imaging cameras inspect your roof. We will be looking specifically at areas where heat is emitted could show a roof’s problem, such as a concealed chimney or flue fire burning internally within the building structure.
Moisture probe analysis
Black Brook Roofing places moisture probes into different areas of the roof to take humidity readings. These are then logged onto a spreadsheet which gives you an accurate representation of where there may be issues with your roof, such as leaks or excess water accumulation under the tiles.
Electronic leak detection
Black Brook Roofing can send out an electronic signal through your roof and will receive a reply which we use to pinpoint any areas of concern.
Aerial drone photography and inspection
In this case, our drone photographer will fly his high-tech camera across your roof and take photographs from different angles. These are then put together digitally to give us a complete picture of the condition of your entire roof for us to offer you an accurate assessment report with recommendations on how best to proceed.
Roof Cleaning
Our standard process includes using a pressure washer adapted a bit so that we can spray water at shallow pressures over areas such as downpipes and gutters without causing any damage or disruption. This allows dirt, moss, and other unsightly growths to be removed with ease while keeping the surrounding area intact, allowing it to continue doing its job correctly.
