Heavy rain, flowing down house walls to the ground below, can cause a great deal of damage. At the very least, it taxes paint and wriggles into cracks, contributing to eventual, long-term decay. At its worst, it foils windows, invades walls and undermines foundations.

Gutters and drainage systems handle rainwater removal to keep these things from happening.

Gutters, long troughs that catch water at the eaves, slope slightly toward downspouts that pipe the water to the ground. Depending upon the drainage situation around the base of the house, water is then routed into below-ground drain pipes or other means of dispersing it away from the foundation.

FLAT ROOFS (MAINLY GARAGES)

Dont be conned by people who say that they can fit plastics to your garage roof without causing damage to the flat roof.In most cases the felt labours (drips) normally green are fixed to your fascia, if this is the case then these need replacement at the same time, you cannot force trims under this detail, and you cannot lift them. They must be removed and new drips formed, or within a few months you will have real problems. S.F. Roofing allways include for new drips when pricing for plastics to your flat roof, and will issue a guarantee to honour any outstanding guarantee for the lentgh of time left with your original guarantee issued to you by the company who originally fitted your flat roof. The only safe way is if your felt labours have a distinct gap of at least 10mm from your fascia, or by re-fitting of new. In most cases if your roof is quite old it is often better to have the flat roof done completely at the same time

SAFETY WITH LADDERS

The easiest and safest way to position a tall ladder against a wall is to push the base against the wall, walk the top of the ladder up until it's vertical, then pull out the base. The ladder's angle is critical to safety. If its base is too close to the wall, the ladder is generally unstable and likely to fall backwards when you climb it. If it's too far away, the ladder may bend or slide out from under you. The distance from base to wall should be equal to about one quarter of the ladder's length.

Be sure your ladder is on a firm surface. As you climb or reach, keep your weight centered. Do not lean out to one side; keep your hips between the rails; never stand on the top two rungs.

When using an extension ladder to reach the roof, extend at least two rungs above the eaves. This way, you can hold onto the ladder as you step onto the roof. Then, above all, be safe!
