Commercial companies have a lot on their hands, with hard work and challenging clients. The last thing on their minds is the maintenance of the building, all the more particularly your roof maintenance. The roof of a commercial building is always prone to harsh weather conditions such as the scorching sun, frost, snow, rain and hailstones. Often roofs face more damage than we think and the problem with damaged roofs is that your building will start facing linkages, rusting and will invite homeless creatures into your roof.

Roof sheet with zinc/galvanizing layer

However the roof is subject to heavy wear and tear from hail, rain, scorching sun and heat, pollution, acid rain, wind, etc. These factors gradually wear away the protective zinc/galvanizing layer and at that point the roof will begin to rust.
Rust untreated will not stop. It continues to eat away at the roof sheets to the point where the roof has rust holes in it, causing leaks and possibly costly damage to the inside of the building, stock, computers, factory equipment, machinery, etc. Finally the roof is damaged beyond repair and will require replacement which is often unforeseen, unplanned and exceptionally costly.
Mildly rusted roof

Severely rusted roof

Not only do these environmental factors cause the roof sheets to rust but they also cause damage to other roof components like screws, skylights, gutters, flashings, etc.
Both the S.A.B.S. and the C.S.I.R. advise that roof sheeting should be painted/coated 2-3 years after installation so that no serious damage to the protective zinc/galvanizing layer occurs. This will optimize protection of the zinc /galvanizing layer against the harmful effects of rain/acid rain, pollutants, sun, wind, etc. If the roof sheeting is painted correctly at this time and the painting is repeated where required through regular maintenance, the roof sheeting will be preserved indefinitely

The roof of your building constitutes a very large percentage of the total investment in the building, an investment that should be cared for to prevent loss. The roof is often neglected as it is not seen. This neglect can be incredibly costly.
As in the case of a motor car, it is far better and much more economical in the long run to maintain a roof regularly than to wait until serious problems are apparent which could cost a small fortune to rectify, or worse still, to find the roof needs replacement.
If avoiding serious roof damage and unnecessary financial losses is important to your company, then commencing roof maintenance as soon as possible is vital. This will ensure that you get the longest possible life from your roof, considerably reduce long term costs, leaks and damage.

Severely rusted gutters
Early and regular roof maintenance in accordance with certain C.S.I.R. and S.A.B.S. advices and recommendations puts the roof owner in a winning position both practically and financially.
These are the reasons why many large, success oriented property corporations are now adopting the policy of regular, and early roof maintenance.
