Metal Roofing System Survey & Assessment

A metal roofing system survey and assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the condition, performance, and potential issues of a metal roof. This process involves a thorough inspection of all components, including the metal sheets, fasteners, seams, and underlying structure. The assessment aims to identify existing problems, potential vulnerabilities, and areas that may require maintenance or repair.

These evaluations are crucial for maintaining the integrity and longevity of metal roofs. Regular surveys help detect issues early, preventing minor problems from escalating into costly repairs. They also ensure the roof continues to provide optimal protection and performance throughout its lifespan.

Planning and Risk Assessment

Before commencing the survey, a thorough planning phase is essential. This involves:

Identifying potential risks and hazards associated with accessing and inspecting the roof
Developing a detailed plan for the survey, including areas to be inspected and specific elements to evaluate
Ensuring all necessary safety equipment and tools are available
Reviewing any previous survey reports or known issues

Design and Supply Evaluation

This step focuses on assessing the current design and materials used in the roofing system:

Evaluating the suitability of the metal type (e.g., zinc, steel, aluminium, copper) for the building and environment
Assessing the effectiveness of the current design in terms of drainage, ventilation, and thermal performance
Identifying any design flaws that may be contributing to issues
Recommending improvements or replacements where necessary

Standing seam systems

Standing seam roofing features continuous metal panels that run from the roof ridge to the eave, connected by raised seams that stand above the water channel.

This versatile roofing system suits various applications, from residential properties to commercial buildings. Its clean lines complement modern architectural designs while its adaptability allows it to enhance traditional structures. The system proves particularly valuable in regions experiencing severe weather conditions, where its superior weather resistance and durability offer significant advantages over conventional roofing materials.

Standing seam metal roofing aligns with sustainable building practices. The materials are fully recyclable, and many contain significant recycled content. The system's durability and longevity reduce replacement frequency and associated waste. Additionally, metal roofing can contribute to energy efficiency through superior solar reflectance and thermal emittance properties, potentially reducing cooling costs in warmer climates.
