How can roof restoration boost property value?

• First impressions are everything in real estate.
  The way a house looks from the outside can
  instantly add to, or subtract from, its value.
• No matter how beautiful your property is on the
  inside, if the exterior is unappealing and
  showing wear and tear, potential buyers will view
  it with a negative mindset. And often your
  property is one on a long list of properties a
  buyer will see, so its important they have a
  positive memory.
• With the roof being such a large and obvious
  exterior feature of your property, it needs to
  look good and not show any signs of damage and
  deterioration. Like the inside of your property,
  cleaning, making repairs and adding a fresh coat
  of paint can have a huge impact on its
  appearance, and thus on its value.
• If buyers perceive the roof of your property
  needs work, they will be calculating roof repair
  costs into their offer, reducing the money you
  get for your property. And the perceived costs
  can often be more than the actual costs.

• Assessing roof condition
• The key issues to look for when assessing the
  roof condition of your property are rust, mould
  and lichen, broken tiles or cracked pointing, and
  of course any leaks. Fixing these problems may
  not be as expensive as you think, and when
  combined with roof cleaning or painting, can
  transform your property, adding real value.
• Extensive repair or restoration work will
  increase the warranty period of your roof. Work
  should come with a written guarantee for an
  extended period. For example, our work is
  guaranteed for ten years.
• Types of roof repair and restoration work
• Realigning roof tiles and replacing broken tiles
• Pressure cleaning removing moss and lichen, and
  increasing roof life expectancy
• Rebedding removing and replacing old mortar
  from ridge-caps
• Repointing applying a flexible pointing
  (rubberised compound) to rebedded ridge caps,
  creating a stronger hold
• Replacement of old, rusted valleys
• Roof painting

• Time and money
• The cost of roof repairs and restoration depends
  on the roof size and the scope of work required.
  Every roof is different and needs to be assessed
  and quoted. The average roof restoration project
  can take up to three days to complete, some take
  longer, it depends on the size and scope of the
  job, and of course the weather!
