You may not know it, but the roof contractor plays a key role in how long your house
lasts. A major flaw in your roof can lead to disaster.
Let's start by outlining the different types of roofing common in Lagos Nigeria. This
gives you the big picture. Then we conclude with tips for selection of roofing contractor.
The different types of roofing includes . . .
Concrete roofing or decking
These are the common roofing types in Lagos Nigeria.
The first three - using zinc, aluminium, or asbestos roofing sheets - all follow the same
pattern. The only difference is the roofing material used.
The fourth - concrete roofing or decking - is different because it involves concrete work.
Concrete roofing is often done when you intend to add another floor to the basic ground
floor of a house.
However, some home owners do partial or full concrete roofing using a roof contractor
when they intend to use the house roof as a relaxation sport.
Partial concrete roofing is often done for the kitchen alone to minimize the impact of
fire from the kitchen if it does occur.
Full or partial concrete roofing for the purpose of creating a relaxation area on the
roof of the house may also call for sheet roofing of the top area of the house to shield
against the impact of the sun during usage of the area.
A mistake by a roof contractor for roofing with zinc, aluminium, or asbestos roofing
sheet can always be corrected later with minimum impact on your home.
But a flaw in your decking can lead to a collapse of the decking and in fact, the
building a decade or two down the road.
Therefore you need to be especially careful in this area.
