Question 1

How can I tell that my gutters are clogged?

Accepted Answer

If you can see plants growing in your gutters, this is a good indication that you have blockages in your gutter. Other signs to look out for include rainwater spilling from the gutters and sagging lengths of gutter pipe, which may be struggling to support the weight of the water settling because of blockages.

Question 2

Do you have a selection of materials and styles to choose from?

Accepted Answer

We offer a range of materials and styles to suit every project. Sheet metal solutions include corrugated steel, iron, aluminium, and zinc, and a wide variety of colours and styles means you can select the ideal roof for your property. Our project gallery showcases some of the colours and styles available.

Question 3

How long does the roof installation process take?

Accepted Answer

Several factors will influence the time required to complete an installation. For example, if our team needs to remove an old or damaged roof before beginning a new fitting, project time will increase. Additionally, roofs containing asbestos require extra care during the removal process. Weather permitting, a typical installation takes 1 to 3 days to complete.

Question 4

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

All roofs eventually show signs of wear and may require replacement. Common signs include age, leaks, rust, deterioration, and noticeable aesthetic issues. Regular maintenance can extend the life of a roof, and repairs are often sufficient to remedy minor issues. However, replacement may be necessary in the face of excessive damage or wear.

Question 5

How Do I Identify Asbestos?

Accepted Answer

Since asbestos is usually mixed in with other materials, it can be difficult to identify it. Asbestos fibres are odourless and also tiny which adds to the complexity of asbestos removal. The only way to identify whether you have asbestos in your home is to recruit the help of experts.

Question 6

How Long Does it Take to Remove Asbestos?

Accepted Answer

Some asbestos removal projects take longer than others as it depends on the scale of contamination. We will first need to assess how much asbestos needs to be removed, whether we can readily access it, and what materials we require to remove it.

Question 7

How often should my gutters be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Spring and autumn months are usually recommended for gutter cleaning, but it depends on your property's surroundings and design, too. If you notice that your gutters get blocked during particular times of the year, this could inform your decision as to when to book in for a gutter cleaning. Otherwise, annual or twice-annual gutter cleaning is enough to keep most gutters in good condition.

Question 9

Can whirlybirds leak?

Accepted Answer

When improperly installed, whirlybirds can leak and allow more moisture into your home. But a skilled professional, like our roofers at Garden City Roofing, should know how to install a whirlybird so that it doesn't leak at all.

Question 10

How many whirlybirds do I need?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended to install one whirlybird per 90m2 of roof space to maintain optimum air quality within your home. This means that, for example, in a house of around 150m2, you may want to have two whirlybirds installed across your roof.

Question 11

Where should whirlybirds be installed?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time, it's best to install whirlybirds at the top of a roof along the highest ridgeline. From this point, whirlybirds can work efficiently because hot air rises naturally to the highest point in the roof.

Question 12

Can I Remove Asbestos Myself?

Accepted Answer

You are allowed to remove up to 10 square metres of bonded asbestos on your own, even if you don't have a license. However, asbestos removal requires adequate containment and can lead to widespread contamination if not removed properly   That's why we recommend you seek out help or advice from professional asbestos removalists before undertaking any work yourself.
