Roofers in the UK
With the recent run of stormy weather causing chaos for many UK homeowners, it’s not surprising to hear that many local businesses have been badly affected too.
It’s not just the flooding that has caused problems for many local companies, it’s also the wind and many roofers in the the UK have reported that high winds have prevented many of them from working in the conditions.
The worst affected areas have seen many companies down tools because of the risk of injury to those working at height, but managers say that the risk to life is too great to continue with the work.
Most areas of the UK have seen high winds but there are places that have experienced winds as high as 100 mph, so working at height is considered extremely hazardous.
Homeowners have also reported damage to their property caused by high winds, with a high number reporting damage taking place to their roof.
The clean up bill following the most recent stormy weather is still uncertain but it looks set to run into the millions and the knock on effect for small roofing businesses could continue for the next few months.
