How long does a roof last?

The lifespan of your roof depends on the material used and the level of ongoing maintenance.
Common materials include tiles, felt, EPDM rubber, fibreglass, and slate, each offering different durability levels. Slate roofs can last over 70 years with proper care.

Routine roof maintenance and timely repairs are essential to extend your roof’s life and ensure it performs at its best.

How do I know if my roof needs replacing?

You may need a roof replacement if you notice:

  • Missing or broken tiles

  • Leaks or water stains

  • Sagging rooflines

  • Moss or algae growth

  • Light coming through your loft

If you’re unsure, get in touch with Masters Roofing Somerset for a free roof inspection. We’ll provide honest advice on whether you need roof repairs or a full roof replacement.

What’s the difference between a re-roof and a roof repair?

A roof repair involves fixing specific damaged areas such as tiles, flashing, or leaks.
A re-roof means replacing the entire roof covering or layers — and sometimes includes structural work if necessary.

Our experienced team can assess your roof and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your home or business.

What should I do if my roof is leaking?

If you spot a roof leak, try to contain the water to prevent interior damage. Leaks can worsen quickly, especially during heavy rain or storms.

Contact Masters Roofing immediately for emergency roof repairs in Somerset — we’ll inspect the issue and provide fast, effective repairs to protect your property.

What causes most roof problems?

Common causes of roof damage include:

  • Broken or missing tiles

  • Poor installation

  • Blocked or overflowing gutters

  • Wildlife and nesting birds

  • Weather and storm damage

  • Ageing or worn materials

Regular roof inspections and maintenance can catch these problems early and prevent costly damage.

How often should I have my roof inspected or maintained?

We recommend roof maintenance at least once a year, and after any major storms.
Routine checks help identify wear and tear early, keeping your roof in excellent condition and saving you money in the long run.
