Liquid Roofing systems have been available to roofers for many years now and can provide an excellent way to install a new roofing product on a flat roof when the weather is damp as they use polymers which require moisture. This system is used in the repair of cracks on existing flat roofs and can therefore extend the life of a roof beyond its natural life expectancy. Our teams of roofers have been trained in the installation of liquid roofing products and we can provide a manufactures guarantee on the products we install.

Over time roofs can deteriorate and cracks can appear in your flat roof or on your slates or tiles, these can eventually lead to water ingress which can cause damage to your roof but also in your loft space or into your home. It is important to get a competent experienced roofer to come and assess the roofing issue to avoid further damage to your property.
Roofing issues aren’t always caused by a roof leak, but there are measures you need to take to make sure you are getting enough ventilation into your loft space to avoid a build-up of condensation causing dampness in the loft.
- Ensure your bathroom ventilation goes out of the loft space and is correctly installed.
- Make sure you have good insulation in your loft to prevent as much of the heat from escaping into the loft.
- Make sure you have ventilation in your loft space: this can be achieved by installing tile or slate vents, fascia or soffit vents.

Roof Lights
Installing roof lights into your property is a skilled job and should not be attempted unless you are competent in roofing, are also confident working at heights and have been fully trained. Installing a new roof light into a roof whether it is a pitched roof or a flat roof does require a skilled roofer to carry out the installation, even if it’s repairing or replacing an existing roof light.

Hodgson Roofing is part of a larger construction company and has years of experience in installing roof windows and skylights, in loft conversions and single and double-storey extensions as part of the home renovation projects, our team of roofers have also worked on independent projects for customers who are looking to create more light into a room or covert a space into a usable room.
Roof & Gutter cleaning
Keeping your roof clear of moss, leaves and algae build-up will help extend the life of the roof and also keep your gutters from getting blocked when there is a heavy downpour, and the moss and debris are forced off the roof. We use a manual method of cleaning the roof, where are roofers will access the roof via ladders or a tower scaffold and physically brush the debris and vegetation off the roof surface and remove the waste from the site. We then wash the roof and treat it with an anti-fungal to help prevent the moss from returning. Our Gutter cleaning is either from our ladders or we use our SkyVac cleaner if access is an issue, we always water test the gutters and downpipes before we leave the property to ensure they are free-flowing.
