Roof is an important element in the architecture of any building that saves rigidity of the whole construction and resist from external deformation loads. Roof covering provides a protection of the roof and the whole construction from the sun, atmospheric precipitation, wind and snow. Roofing like any building constructions has got a certain operational reserve as during time it subjects to running-out and requires a periodic maintenance, repair and reconstruction.
Renovation of any roof can be divided into three main types:
• Emergency repair. It consists in the restoration of damaged parts of the roof;
• Current repair. It is needed for correction of damages and defects of a roof covering. During current repair a replacement of a part of roofing material is carried out – just 10-40% of common covering area;
• General repair. It can include dismantling works of old roof covering, repair of roof construction and replacement of heat-retention lagging and roof covering.
Service period of roofing construction is for 40-60 years operation according to the type of applied while constructing the roof materials. Some roof coverings have a service period over 100 years but attaching parts, valleys, bearings, drains and other elements of roofing system subjected to constant loads are in need of repairing or replacement over time.
