Despite all the talk of drought, especially in the South of the UK, April proved to be a record breaking month when it comes to rainfall. With regular downpours across most of the country, April rainfall was 65% above average in England, with Sheffield receiving a record 153mm in just one month, compared to an average of around 65mm.

While all of this rain will have been good news for the gardens, as well as our struggling reservoirs, it can be very bad news for your roof. Roofing tiles and roof slates that have stayed dry for many months through the unusually dry winter, will have been hit by sudden, and often ferocious storms, leading to very heavy rain and inevitable damage.

Unfortunately, most people don’t examine their roofing slates and tiles as a matter of course, and so the first they know of damage is when rain gets into their loft and starts dripping through the bedroom ceiling. By this time, the damage is far worse than a couple of broken roofing slates or tiles, and could involve having your whole ceiling replastered.

So it’s well worth taking the time to wander down your garden, or nip across the road, to look at your roof and check for damage after a downpour. It only takes a couple of minutes, but it could save you so much hassle and money too. If you do spot a broken roof slate or tile, B&M Henderson have a huge range, from traditional roofing slates in a range of colours, to modern roofing tiles, to help you find the perfect match, so you can get a seamless repair.

So next time it rains heavily, check your roof for damage and call the experts at B&M Henderson for help if you need it.

There’s nothing that looks worse than a row of houses where one roof has been replaced in a completely different colour and style to all the rest. Clay red tiles amid a row of grey slates, or an obvious patch of new slates on an old and weathered roof, look totally out of place and can spoil the look of your whole house.
