What Does A Roof Plumber Do?

When it comes to roofing, and more specifically, the plumbing and guttering around your roof, many job descriptions sound the same but are different in application. Many homeowners can get confused and unsure who to call when they need work done on their roof and forego making that important phone call. Roofers, roof plumbers, roofing contractors? It can get a little confusing but fear not, we will discuss what a roof plumber is and what we do here at Matt Diamond Plumbing.

Simply put a roof plumber is someone qualified plumber that has been trained in installing gutters, downpipes, rainwater tanks and flashing on residential and commercial buildings. Roof plumbers can also install wall cladding and roof sheeting. However, just because the term plumber is used, doesn’t mean you should call any plumber, as roof plumbers have been trained specifically in roof plumbing. 

Roof plumbers read and interpret technical diagrams of a roof so they can install roof drainage systems, often with different angles around houses. As roof plumbers also install water tanks, they also make sure that water tanks catch the maximum amount of rainwater by calculating the correct pitch and size of roofs.

Here at Matt Diamond Plumbing, our team are qualified plumbers that work on all roof types for all plumbing jobs. Our roof plumbing services include:

Roof gutters are one of the most important parts of your roof, as they play an important role in ensuring water flows freely from your roof. When your gutters are blocked or damaged, they limit the water flow into the downpipes which can lead to blockages in the gutter. When this happens, water builds up and so does the build-up of mould and mildew, which over time can lead to erosion. Ensure your gutters are properly installed and maintained and that any leaks are fixed immediately. 

Much like gutters, the role of a downpipe is to ensure that the water that flows from the gutter can go down the downpipes without hindrance. Downpipes that have been poorly fitted or aligned can lead to overspill above the pipes and equally poor drainage on the ground.

We all know that water is the most valuable resource in the world, which is why many homeowners are installing water tanks to catch it. When installing a water tank, our roof plumbers will work out the best angle to fit the pipes into the tank, allowing for maximum water catchment.
