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.

This winter, we have already seen an extraordinary amount of storms, with high winds wreaking havoc across the North West in particular. Inevitably, this has caused a whole host of damage, from missing roofing slates and roof tiles, to whole sections of roof that have been torn away by the winds.

If this happens to you, one of the biggest problems can be finding replacement roofing supplies that match your existing roof. Many homes in the region are over a hundred years old, while others were originally built from specialist roofing materials for aesthetic reasons. Having your local roof repair company fix your roof with whatever they have to hand, can leave an obvious and unsightly patch on your roof that draws the eye and detracts from the look of your home.

At B&M Henderson roofing merchants, we have a huge range of roofing supplies to help you find an exact match for the damaged area. We offer a wide range of slate, both from local sources, such as Wales and Cumbria, and further afield, such as Brazil and China. We also stock a wide range of roofing tiles, in both clay and concrete, with a rainbow of shades available.

B&M Henderson also stock an extensive selection of reclaimed roofing supplies, which means that you could even match older styles of roofing materials with like for like replacements.

So if you suffer storm damage this winter, don’t settle for a compromise repair that leaves your roof looking like a patchwork quilt. Visit the roofing experts at B&M Henderson and find the matching materials you need for a seamless roof repair.

Throughout the year, you probably won’t really think about your roof.

When you leave in a morning, you will find that you don’t turn back around to inspect the roof and when you come home from work or after picking up the children, you will be too eager to get home and get warm.

Well winter is well and truly here, the winds are up and the temperatures are an average of 2 or 3 degrees Celsius, this cold weather is neither good for you or your home.

The heavy snow fall we had last year, is just as likely to happen this year and so being prepared is the best thing for it.

Making sure that your roof is sturdy, safe and secure throughout the harsh winter is essential.

Checking your roof is easy and can be done with minimal fuss and effort regularly throughout the year.

The first thing to check is your roof slates or tile, checking they are all secure and none are missing.

When you know they are all secure, you can rest assured they won’t be flying off in the high speed winds we experience all over the UK.

Snow is heavy and can considerably damage your roof, so it is always a better to check and make sure that your shingles, tiles and slates have not been damaged or loosened with the long periods of heavy snow, that we endured last year.

So it is always worth checking your roof before winter and making any necessary repairs, roofing products and roofing materials
are easy to find and BandM Henderson can offer fantastic tiles, slates and other roofing products at low prices that will match and compliment your current roof style.
