Ask your QuestionWhy does a roof sag with time? Is there something that can be done about it??
Asked by Patrick on 25th Feb 2021"It could be a few things
1. The rafters need looking or changing
2 Rotten batons
3 Broken membrane"
"The timbers are rotten, water holding in the roof, basically you need a new roof."
Answered on 25th Feb 2021 - Member since Jun 2020 - report"If a roof starts to sag whether it’s a pitched roof or a flat roof it’s down to the main roof joists which are more than likely broken/damaged and starting to give way causing the roof to sag"
