How to prepare your home for a roof replacement

Written by Sam on August 25, 2024. Posted in Roof Care

• Interior:
  • Move furniture and belongings away from walls, particularly in rooms directly below the roof. This protects them from falling debris during the removal process.
  • Consider removing valuable items or artwork from the house altogether, or covering them securely with dust sheets.
• Exterior:
  • Remove patio furniture, grills, and any other objects that could be damaged by falling debris or roofing materials.
  • Trim back any tree branches that might obstruct the workers or pose a safety risk.
  • Advise neighbours about the upcoming project, especially if parking restrictions or noise might be an issue.

• Driveway: Ensure clear access for our vehicles carrying materials and equipment.
• Walkways: Clear a path for our team to easily access the roof from the ground.
• Utilities: Let us know if there are any exposed electrical wires, gas lines, or other utilities near the roofline.

• Parking: Discuss parking arrangements for our team with Severnside Roofing.
• Pets: If you have pets, let us know how you plan to keep them safe and comfortable during the project.
• Access to the house: Inform us if there are any specific times during the day when access to the house might be restricted.
• Questions and concerns: Don’t hesitate to ask our team any questions you may have throughout the process. We’re always happy to provide clear communication and address any concerns.

• Weather: While Severnside Roofing works efficiently, unpredictable weather can sometimes delay the project. Consider having a backup plan in case of heavy rain or strong winds.
• Permits: If required, ensure all necessary permits are obtained before the project begins. Severnside Roofing can help guide you on this process.
• Waste disposal: Discuss waste disposal arrangements with the team.
