The roof is your home’s most important protection
A roof in good condition protects your home from rain, snow, and moisture, and helps maintain the building’s value and living comfort. With regular inspections, wear and damage can be detected before they cause more extensive repair needs.
If a roof starts to leak, moisture can quickly reach the attic space, insulation, and wooden structures. A roof renovation carried out at the right time helps prevent moisture and rot damage and keeps repair costs better under control.
Insurance may not necessarily cover damage caused by the aging, wear, or insufficient maintenance of the roof. Coverage depends on the insurance policy and the damage, so it is worth checking with your insurance company.
Carefully executed roof renovation
Trained Weckman roofing partners carry out the renovation with professional skill and take care of the finishing touches. The site is kept in order, the yard is tidied, and construction waste generated during the renovation is handled appropriately.
The Weckman roof package is designed as a functional whole, which includes the steel roofing as well as compatible installation accessories, roof safety products, and a rainwater system.
Weckman steel roofs are granted a technical warranty of up to 50 years.
How is a roof renovation carried out?
Assessment of roof renovation needs
The timing for a roof renovation should be determined as soon as signs of wear or damage appear on the roof. Moss growth, cracking roofing materials, insufficient ventilation, moisture marks in the attic, or recurring leaks can indicate that the roof’s service life is coming to an end. A roof renovation done in time helps prevent more extensive structural damage and keeps repair costs better under control.
Book a free assessment visit
A roof renovation begins with an evaluation of the roof’s condition. During a free assessment visit, the roofing and understructures are checked, potential damage is mapped out, and a written and photographic report on the roof’s condition is prepared if necessary. At the same time, you will receive an expert recommendation for a steel roof suitable for your roof type and the necessary additional accessories.
Roof renovation planning
Once the initial situation of the roof has been determined, the roof renovation is planned according to the needs of the property. In addition to the roofing material, the plan also takes into account the underlay, battens, penetrations, rainwater systems, and roof safety products to ensure the whole system works reliably and lasts year after year. A well-planned roof renovation improves not only protection but also the appearance and usability of the roof.
Quote for roof renovation
After the assessment and planning, you will receive a fixed quote from our roofing partner, detailing the content of the renovation, agreed details, schedule, and price. A clear quote makes it easier to understand the project and provides confidence in decision-making.
Execution of the roof renovation
The roof renovation begins with the preparation of the necessary safety structures and the site area. The old roofing is dismantled, after which the roof’s understructures are checked and necessary repairs are made. Following this, the underlay, battens, roofing sheets, penetration seals, eave flashings, rainwater systems, and roof safety products are installed. Finally, the work is reviewed together with the customer to ensure the quality of the work and that everything agreed upon has been implemented.
Roof renovation warranties
Steel roofs installed by trained and experienced Weckman roofing partner installers are granted a 30, 40, or even 50-year technical warranty. When materials, installation, and details form a functional whole, the result is a long-lasting roof and a more worry-free everyday life for years to come.
Questions about roof renovation
Are you considering a roof renovation?
Renovating a roof often involves questions and factors that are worth considering. We have listed the most common questions and factors affecting the purchase of a roof renovation here.
When should a roof be renovated?
Clear damage, such as leaks, crumbling underlay, mold, or moisture accumulation in the insulation, indicates a need for roof renovation.
How often should the entire roof be replaced?
The need to replace the entire roof depends on the roof's condition, material, weather conditions, and performed maintenance. The roof should be inspected regularly, as a timely roof renovation helps avoid major damage and ensures that the roof protects your home reliably year after year.
When should a steel roof be replaced?
Replacing a house roof is a major decision, even though the roof is a factor affecting the building's lifespan and appearance. The need to replace a steel roof is indicated by leaks and moisture damage, rust damage, mechanical damage, but also the deterioration of the roof's appearance. Insurance companies may also have new requirements.
How long does a new roof last?
Roof durability varies by material and environment; regular maintenance and necessary repairs help extend its lifespan. By choosing high-quality materials and a professional installer, you ensure that your new roof lasts for years and protects your home reliably. Steel roofs can last as long as 40–70 years.
How should a housing company's roof renovation be tendered?
Tendering a housing company's roof renovation should begin with a condition assessment so that requests for quotes can be made on a clear and comparable basis. When comparing offers, price alone is not enough; attention should also be paid to the scope of the contract, material quality, warranties, schedule, and the contractor's experience.
How to choose the right roofing material?
The roof protects your home from weather conditions and gives it its look. By choosing the right roofing material, you can improve your home's energy efficiency, durability, and appearance. But which roofing material is best? It depends on, among other things, the area's weather conditions, budget, lifespan, and your own preferences.
What types of steel roofs are there?
The range of steel roofs is extensive, and their properties vary by material, profile, and coating. Common steel roof types: Traditional corrugated steel is affordable and easy to install, standing seam roofing is watertight and durable, profiled steel roofing is aesthetic and versatile, and tile-patterned steel is a steel roof that looks like a tile roof.
How much does a roof renovation cost?
The price is affected by the roof's size, materials, shape, slope, and the scope of work. For a detached house, the price of a roof renovation is often given as an indicative price per square meter, and the level for a steel roof renovation is usually around €80–120/m², but the final cost is determined by the content of the renovation.
What must be considered when planning roof installation?
Ensuring the condition of the substructures is essential to achieve a durable result. Roof substructures refer to, among other things, roof trusses, underlay, and insulation.
How long does a detached house roof renovation take?
The exact schedule varies based on the project scope and other factors. The time required for the renovation can be outlined through the most common stages of a roof renovation: assessment and planning, demolition, installation, and finishing work.
Can a roof renovation be done in winter?
A roof renovation can certainly be done in winter. The dry, freezing season is a good time. One of the advantages of a roof renovation carried out in winter is that professionals are available more easily and flexibly, as demand is usually lower then than in the summer months.
What should be considered in a housing company's roof renovation?
A housing company's roof renovation requires careful planning, professional execution, and regular communication with residents. With these, you can ensure a successful and durable roof renovation that increases the value of the housing company and the satisfaction of the residents.
Does a Weckman roof renovation have a warranty?
Weckman roofing partners grant an installation warranty for the roof renovation. Weckman's partners are trained and experienced companies, and the Weckman steel roofs they install are granted a technical service life class of 30, 40, or even 50 years.
We hope these answers help you in planning your steel roof renovation!
