Zinc roofing – bent seams or joints
Listed under: metal, zinc, Roof, cladding, roof cladding, zinc roofing
Cause
Foot traffic on the roof
Repair
- zinc roof panels are commonly installed with standing seams. Engage a roofing company experienced in working with zinc to advise and to repair the panels if required. With zinc roofs, the installation techniques and fixings used are different to the more common corrugated steel roofs and are best left to people with experience and the appropriate tools
- try to avoid foot traffic on the roof in future. Work out why there has been foot traffic in the past. If people have walked on the roof to trim trees, for example, the tree branches could be cut back so roof access is no longer required
Cause
The panels were damaged when installed
Repair
- call the original installer back to make repairs
- if the original installer is not known, contact a roofing company experienced in working with zinc to advise and repair the panels if required
