We all know how important roofs are to our home. If you live in Scotland, you’ll particularly know how much they protect your home from the weather, with long periods of snow and rain a common sight in the winter months. However, many people don’t really worry about their roof until something goes wrong, whether it’s a leak or a draught, which means winter is the busiest time for people to look for a waterproof roof coating in Scotland.
You can get ahead of the crowd and get your roof prepped for the colder weather by looking at roof coatings during the summer months, so here’s why now is the best time to get the work done.
Easier installation
It’s often easier to install roof coatings during the summer, because:
There are longer days
Less chance of disruptions from weather or rain
There’s more natural light to let our team do their job
Coatings dry quicker
Summer is often the season for DIY, as you’ve got more time to do it, and you aren’t held up by the common sight of a drizzle of rain. When you’re installing roof coating systems Scotland, take advantage of the short summers to get these sorts of jobs done.
Make repairs, before they cause a problem
The first sign of a gap in your roof can often be an ominous dripping sound or a sudden patch of damp on the ceiling. By this point, it can already have damaged your insulation or the wood in your loft, and the longer it’s left, the more expensive the damage can be. Before your roof needs to get through the rainy season, look for a roof repair coating in Scotland, which will help cover all those little gaps where rain and melted snow can enter your property, before the damage is done.
Keep your home cool
While products like roof coatings are often seen as something to protect during the summer months, they can also help cool your property. Most Scottish homeowners will be most concerned with protecting against wind and rain, but during the summer months, adding a rubber roof coating in Scotland will help cool your home too.

Improving the look of your home
