Protan Roof Asset Management Service 

·         PRAMS is a requirement of Protan’s extended warranty package

·         PRAMS is available to existing Protan clients to ensure the Protan roofs are in good annual condition and will exceed their minimum life expectancy

A well designed Protan roof has an anticipated durability in excess of 30 years as verified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA).  PRAMS is the solution to fulfilling this expectation.

There is a common misnomer that roofs are ‘maintenance free’.  Obviously roofs take the full force of weather conditions and other factors such as pollution and bird life.  Consequently, it is essential that roofs are inspected at least once a year and preventative steps are taken to provide peace of mind and substantially lower the risk of leaks and long term damage.

In line with BS 6229 : 2003, we recommend that the roof area be inspected ideally in the spring and autumn for evidence of damage, clearing of any accumulated debris, cleaning of gutters and ensuring outlets are clear and free flowing.

Inspection should also include a visual check of detailing to penetrations through the roof, terminations to upstands, walls etc, and especially where counter flashings are employed, exposed perimeter or other areas where wind uplift can be high.  Checks should also be carried out around roof mounted plant, extracts etc where chemical or lubricant spillage or exhaust emission contamination could occur.
