It can be argued that the most vital part of any home is its roof. The roof protects everyone inside from wind, rain, hail, and snow as well as providing insulation to keep the house warm in winter and cool in the summer. So it is critical that our roofs are maintained to a high standard in order to ensure they are fully equipped to deal with any extreme weather conditions.
When it comes to such an important job, we want a service that is reliable.
With more than 35 years' experience, KCL Roofing Limited offer a comprehensive service, from fixing a missing slate to a complete roof replacement.
Company Director, Seamus Casey, says; "From the smallest repair to the biggest of overhauls including flat roofs, pitched roof, fibreglass flat roofs, lead, or general roof maintenance, our highly skilled team of trained roofers at KCL Roofing can complete any task that needs to be carried out on a roof.
"To avail of our services, a client can contact KCL Roofing & Guttering on 091 734041 or email [email protected], providing a brief description of their issue. An appointment is then scheduled to go out to inspect the roof and if we source the problem we will provide clients with HD photographs of any issue so they do not have to risk their safety by climbing onto the roof.
We then offer a no obligation free estimate of what the work will entail to remedy the roof problem. Before work commences, KCL Roofing will provide the client an easy-to-follow schedule of works, so clients know what they are paying for and how long the process will take.
'A roof check-up should always be carried out by a professional roofer'
All roofs wear out and eventually need to be replaced. If the whole of your roof is still in good condition spot repairs make sense. However, ignoring a leak can lead to further damage to furniture and flooring which can result in a bigger cost. Mr Casey advises homeowners should have their roofs checked by a professional roofer at least twice a year for any possible damage.
"At KCL Roofing we would advise people to get their roofs checked twice a year by a professional roofer, ideally before winter and after winter because the roof will be under the most strain at that time due to the weather conditions.
"Gable verges can experience cracks in the concrete in which birds can nest and water can penetrate; rot is regularly found behind the fascia on these gables which can spread to the rafters and create huge future issues for the roof but the most common occurrence after the winter will be leaks which can lead to water damage inside the building.
"Early signs that you may have a roof leak may include dark spots on ceilings, paint starting to peel, damp spots, and water stains. It is important to have your roof checked regularly as the earlier a problem is detected, the easier it is to remedy. Ignoring small issues can result in a minor repair job turning into a major problem. We believe prevention is better than cure.
"A roof check-up should always be carried out by a professional roofer because it is dangerous especially for someone who does not have much experience being on a rooftop, clients can be rest assured that here at KCL Roofing, we work hand in hand with Denis Larkin Safety Training to ensure all our safety training is up-to date.
"It is also exceptionally wise to check the competency of your roofer and be sure that you are provided with a written estimate containing a Valid VAT number, Company Registration Number and always request to see their Public and Employer's Liability Insurance.
"When it comes to payment always pay by cheque, bank transfer or Chip And Pin upon receipt of a VAT invoice and always make the payment in the name of the Company and not a person. A competent roofer will have no issue with providing you with the above information and accepting the above payments.
For Mr Casey and his team at KCL Roofing, customer service and satisfaction is of the utmost importance.
“For us, our clients' satisfaction is our top priority. Our goal is to provide all clients of KCL Roofing with a professional and efficient service. We only use materials which offer 10 - 20 year guarantee and we offer a 5 - 10 year warranty on our workmanship depending on the project, there is no call out charge or administration fee for warranty works.
"We work hand-in-hand with our clients, providing regular updates on progress with their roofing project. From the first site visit, estimate, and schedule of works through to completion, we are there for you every step of the way," he added.
The team at KCL Roofing would like to thank its customers for their support, patience and understanding over the whole pandemic, it proved to be the most challenging time in all our lives and just like everyone else we had to adjust to measures that two years ago we would have thought to be impossible.
Raw material and fuel costs have increased substantially, availability of such products and materials (i.e timber, plastics and metals ) have been massively reduced making it very difficult to secure the materials needed to complete projects on time etc. but thankfully we are seeing an increase in availability of products and materials and we are finding it somewhat easier to secure the products than before.
