Keep roof drainage ready for rain
Regularly clear leaves and debris, check outlets and downpipes, look for standing water, loose brackets and corrosion, and arrange assessment after storm damage.
Factors worth checking
- Roof area, pitch and rainfall catchment
- Gutter profile, capacity, fall and outlet locations
- Number, size and route of downpipes
- Building height, access and working conditions
- Fascia condition and adjoining roof-edge details
- Access for future clearing and maintenance
