🔍 1. Book a Professional Roof Inspection
Before winter sets in, it’s vital to check your roof for any signs of wear or damage. Look out for:
Broken, cracked, or missing slates or tiles
Loose flashing around chimneys or skylights
Moss growth or debris build-up
Signs of sagging or water staining
Even small issues can quickly worsen in cold or wet conditions. Our Roof Inspection Service in Poole ensures every part of your roof is checked safely and thoroughly — so you can tackle any problems before they become serious.
💧 2. Clear Gutters and Downpipes
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of roof leaks in winter. Fallen leaves and debris prevent proper drainage, leading to overflowing water and ice buildup. Our Guttering Services include cleaning, repairs, and full replacements to keep rainwater flowing freely and your roof protected.
❄️ 3. Check Your Loft and Insulation
Good insulation and ventilation are key to preventing condensation, damp, and heat loss. Make sure your loft insulation is dry, evenly spread, and that air can circulate properly. If your home has a flat roof, this might be the ideal time to consider upgrading to a Warm Roof System. A warm roof helps improve energy efficiency and reduces the risk of frost damage — a smart investment before winter arrives.
🧱 4. Inspect Chimneys and Leadwork
Your chimney and lead flashing are often exposed to heavy wind and rain during winter. Cracked mortar or lifted leadwork can let water in, causing internal damp or leaks. We provide reliable Chimney Repairs and Leadwork Services throughout Poole and Dorset to ensure your roof remains fully watertight.
🚁 5. Schedule a Drone Roof Inspection
For a fast and detailed overview of your roof’s condition, a Drone Roof Inspection is an excellent choice. This advanced technology allows us to safely inspect hard-to-reach areas and identify potential issues early — without the need for ladders or scaffolding.
🛠️ 6. Plan Ahead with Preventative Maintenance
Winter weather can be unpredictable, so don’t wait for a leak to appear. Booking a Roof Maintenance Service before the cold months ensures everything is in top condition — from your tiles and gutters to your chimney and flashing. Our experienced roofers can handle everything from small roof repairs to full Roof Replacements across Poole and the surrounding BCP area.
