A well-maintained roof protects your home, enhances its energy efficiency, and prolongs the life of your roofing materials. Neglecting routine checks can lead to leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs. To help homeowners in Kerala and beyond, we’ve created a comprehensive roofing maintenance checklist that ensures your roof stays in peak condition year-round.
At Scaffs India, we specialise in premium shingles, solar tiles, and roofing accessories — all designed for durability and long-term performance.
🔍 1. Inspect Shingles and Tiles
Check for cracked, curled, or missing shingles.
Replace damaged shingles with high-quality options like:
Regular inspection prevents leaks and extends the lifespan of your roof.
💨 2. Check Roof Ventilation
Proper ventilation keeps your attic cool and prevents moisture buildup.
Ensure vents are clear of debris.
Pair ventilation with shingles or tiles like Borja Tech Tiles to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
🌧️ 3. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Remove leaves, twigs, and dirt from gutters and downspouts.
Ensure water drains freely to prevent pooling and water damage.
For enhanced protection, consider accessory products such as gutter guards and drip edges.
🌿 4. Remove Moss, Algae, and Debris
Moss and algae can damage shingles and hold moisture against your roof.
Clean gently with approved cleaning solutions or hire professionals.
Anti-fungal and algae-resistant shingles like Armourshake Designer Shingles prevent regrowth.
🪜 5. Inspect Flashing and Seals
Check around chimneys, skylights, and vents for cracks or gaps.
Damaged flashing can lead to serious leaks.
Replace with durable materials available in Scaffs India’s accessory range.
☀️ 6. Monitor for Heat or UV Damage
Look for faded or brittle shingles caused by prolonged sun exposure.
Cool roofing materials like Tejas Borja Solar Roof Tiles reflect sunlight and reduce thermal stress.
🏗️ 7. Check for Structural Damage
Inspect for sagging areas, cracks, or water-stained ceilings.
For cottages and specialized homes, verify A-frame cottages and wooden cottages roofs are free from rot or structural issues.
🔧 8. Professional Roof Inspection
Schedule a professional inspection at least once a year.
Experts from Scaffs India can detect hidden issues, perform maintenance, and advise on repairs or replacements.
✅ 9. Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Pre-Monsoon: Check for loose shingles, clear gutters, and inspect flashings.
Post-Monsoon: Clean moss, check for water damage, and replace worn shingles.
Summer: Inspect for heat damage and ensure proper ventilation.
