Some common minor roof repairs include:

• Fixing small leaks

Leaks are one of the most common problems that homeowners face with their roofs. If you have a leak in your roof, it’s important to get it fixed as soon as possible. Left unchecked, a roof leak can cause serious damage to your home, including water damage to your ceilings, walls, and floors which can cost you a fortune in future repairs.

• Replacing damaged or corroded metal sheet

Over time, your roof can become corroded, discoloured, or even fall apart completely. There are a few different reasons why this might happen, but one of the most common is simply age. As your roof gets older, it’s more likely to suffer from wear and tear. This can be exacerbated by bad weather, such as heavy winds or hail storms.

Another common cause of roof damage is poor maintenance. If you don’t regularly inspect and clean your roof, it’s more likely to become damaged. This is especially true if there are trees or other debris near your home, as they can fall on your roof and cause serious damage.

• Repairing gutters

Gutters are another common problem that homeowners face with their roofs. When gutters become clogged, they can cause water to back onto your roof, leading to leaks and other damage.

• Repairing damage caused by debris

There are a few reasons why your roof might get damaged by debris. One reason is if the debris is extremely heavy and falls on your roof.

If the debris is sharp, like tree branches or hail. These can also cause damage to your roof. Lastly, if the debris is wet, it can cause your roof to rot and deteriorate over time.
