A Merry Christmas from M E Contractors of Abergele

Merry Christmas and a Happy (and dry!) New Year to everybody in Abergele from Mark and the team at M E Contractors Ltd.

New roofing standard

Hurricane Desmond has just shown that the 'doom and gloom' merchants may have a point.  Storms in the UK are getting worse and, of course, as nearly all of them blow in across the Atlantic, here in Wales we bear the brunt of them.

The latest British Standard (BS 5534) sets out  required standards of workmanship for new roofs and states that every single lap tile must now be mechanically fixed.  Mortar bedding is no longer permitted.

Make sure you engage a roofing contractor that understands the current building regulations and guarantees to work to them.

The British Standard sets out the design criteria for new roofs based on anticipated maximum wind speeds across the UK.

Winter weather warning

From The Daily Express this week:

"El Nino" is an ocean curent that forms off the coast of Peru in South America before flowing through the southern oceans into the north Atlantic.  So what has it got to do with us?

This warm water current affects airflow above it and appears to vary in five-year cycles.  In the tropics it causes violent storms; in Africa it affects the rainy season.  In Northern Europe the strength of this current determins whether we have warmer or colder winters.

This year's exceptionally strong El Nino and plunging North Atlantic sea temperatures indicate that we are in for some exceptionally cold weather later in the winter.

Now is the time to have a free, no-obligation, roof check by M E Contractors - your local Abergele roofing company.

We will check for loose tiles and slates, missing tiles, loose mortar joints in ridges and cracked flashings and blocked rainwater goods (gutters, downspouts and grids).

The smallest leak in the roof can moisten the insulation rendering it useless - meaning that your fuel bills are higher than they need to be.

Phone us soon for a free check up and roof health report.   The alternative doesn't bear thinking about!

Working in Lon Derw

According to the Met Office we've just had the hottest October day in North wales for 67 years.

The mild weather can lull people into a false sense of security.  It is only four years aho that we had the coldest winter for 400 years in this area - and temperatures plummeted to minus 16 degrees C.

So don't leave it until the last minute.  Remember the old saying  "a stitch in time saves nine".

Hurricane Joaquin on the way

It looks like our short Indian summer is about to come to an abrupt end as a hurricane  is heading our way from the Caribbean.

So now would be a good time to take advantage of our FREE ROOF CHECK before the autumn storms hit.

This is our team carrying out some repairs on two bungalows in Lon Derw this week.

Indian summer

Householders are wisely taking advantage of our Indian Summer this year to have their roofs checked over, repaired as necessary and have all the gutters cleaned out.

Two jobs we're doing this week on bungalow roofs in Tan'r Allt, Abergele.

September in Abergele

Well, it hasn't been much of a summer in North Wales.  It must be all the cold air from the North Pole caused by melting ice due to global warming.  Only in Britain could global warming make the weather cooler.

Now is a good time to have your roof checked in preparation for the coming autumn winds.
