Protecting roofs from snow is an often overlooked part of this.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian Buttress, managing director of PermaRoof UK, part of PermaGroup, said: \u201cWhen considering the impacts of severe weather, people\u2019s first thoughts are for the roads and railways but roofing is an essential part of infrastructure that can often be forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first issue to consider is the weight of the snow on the roof. While we don\u2019t often get enough snow in the UK to cause concerns regarding weight, it\u2019s always good to be prepared and ensure your roof won\u2019t buckle under pressure. Additionally, the snow itself can be harmless to flat roofs but the concentrated volume of water that comes once it has melted does pose issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Waterproofing is an essential part of protecting roofs from snow<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIf not correctly waterproofed, or poor-quality products have been used at the installation phase, water ingress, sagging and even complete failure can occur, depending on the state of the roof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it\u2019s not possible to fully eradicate the risk of damage, particularly when we\u2019re experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/tech-harden-uks-vital-infrastructure-against-extreme-weather\/118464\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">such extreme weather<\/a>, there are several factors that can help to minimise the likelihood of serious damage, like we&#8217;re expecting to see in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a time when cost is at the forefront of people\u2019s minds, it\u2019s important to understand that a higher upfront cost is likely to save money in the long run, as it all but eradicates the risk of premature failure, which is crucially important during ever-changing weather like snowstorms when our roofs are put under more pressure than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/waterproofing-materials-guide-construction\/107862\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Investing in high-quality products<\/a> ensures you\u2019re investing in a warranty \u2013 covering your roof for its expected lifespan. It also means that, should any issues arise, the parts are trackable and can be reviewed and replaced by an equally high-quality product that works within the full system.<\/p>\n<h3>Better to prepare than repair, with a roof survey<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just snow that people need to be aware of either. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/will-extreme-weather-increase-the-adoption-of-mmc\/114752\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heavy rain or flooding, extreme cold snaps and even dramatic heat waves<\/a> can all cause premature ageing of a roof and other challenges.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-122518 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Adrian-Buttress-MD-of-PermaGroup.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe always say that \u2018prevention is better than cure\u2019 and, for anyone concerned about how their roof is going to fare against the unpredictable weather, it\u2019s always worth seeking specialist advice.
