FAQ’s

Roof restoration involves the process of cleaning and repairing the roof to improve its appearance and extend its lifespan. The complete process of roof restoration includes the following:

• Fixing cracked or broken tiles
• Replacing metal sheets
• Sealing any leaks, re-bedding and re-pointing.
  
  

This whole process is going to give your roof years of additional life.

The lifespan of a roof treatment depends on several factors, including the type of treatment, the condition of the roof prior to treatment, and the climate and environment in which the roof is located. However, a high-quality roof treatment by the roofing specialist from SHK Roof Restoration usually lasts, on average, between 10-12 years.

Our roofing specialist from SHK Roof Restoration can pick issues early and prevent them from becoming a real problem.
