Why does a tiled roof require inspection and maintenance?

Brick is a beautiful and long-lasting roofing material, but it requires regular maintenance to stay in good condition. Neglecting maintenance can significantly shorten the roof's lifespan, by as much as 10–20 years.

  • Brick is a porous material in itself. If its protective coating is damaged, for example due to moss growth, moisture can infiltrate the home's structures.

  • This leads to frost weathering and, over time, moisture damage.

  • Even a single broken brick can let water into the structure and cause wider problems.

  • Particularly shady roof surfaces are prone to moss growth.

  • Leaves, needles, and dirt create a favorable growing environment for moss. Therefore, it's good to regularly clean the roof of debris, for example, in the fall.

Can a tile roof be maintained by oneself?

An agile homeowner can handle tasks like trash removal and gutter cleaning on their own. Remember the following points:

  • Always use appropriate safety equipment (harness + safety rope, non-slip shoes, sturdy ladder). 
  • When walking on a tile roof, it is better to step on the lower part of the tile that rests on the battens. This way, you will not break the tiles.
  • Carefully remove trash and leaves so as not to damage the brick surface. 
  • Do not use high-pressure washing, which can damage the brick's coating and force water into the roof structure.
  • Check the condition of the bricks at the same time (cracks, displacements). 
  • Take care of cleaning the rain gutters. 
  • Pay attention to penetrations and potential leak points. 
  • Don't let moss grow – it holds moisture and damages the roof.
