Did you know that not only does your roof shelter the interior of your property, but it also plays a vital role in the continued stability of the overall structure? It holds the external walls in place, preventing them from losing their rigidity over time and causing further damage to your home, especially due to damp and flooding. Therefore, it’s crucial that your roof—aided by our flood restoration and damp proofing services—remains a top priority for your Ascot or Farnham property.
Our local property maintenance company, EJM Home Improvements Ltd, offers round-the-clock roofing repairs, chimney repairs and other emergency services for our growing number of clients in Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

CONTACT USAlong with the rest of the roofline materials – fascias, soffits and bargeboards - the guttering helps protect the lowest point of your roof. It prevents moisture, debris and wildlife from accessing the loft space in your Ascot or Farnham home. If any of these components fail, you could be looking at water ingress issues. If not addressed, this may turn into costly roofing repairs if the timbers are affected.
The guttering is in place to guide rainwater away from your property and into the drainage system via the connected downpipes. It will also collect moss and other debris which falls away from the roof over time. If the guttering becomes clogged up, however, it will overflow and break away from its supports. This puts pressure on the lowest part of the roofline and could cause it to fail. If not addressed with professional leadwork, water could seep into the building fabric, requiring extensive damp proofing later.
There are a variety of issues which can cause structural concerns to your chimney, particularly if you live in an older property in Ascot, Farnham or any of the surrounding areas we cover. If you’re experiencing a build-up of smoke when you light the fire, perhaps something is clogging up the chimney stack. The flue may also be too small to facilitate that larger fireplace you’ve just installed. Or, perhaps, the masonry is failing and requires repointing or a complete rebuild.
Whether it’s a small patch repair or the replacement of all existing leadwork, we are the company to call if you’re looking for professional, trustworthy roofing repairs and damp proofing to protect your property.
