A snowy winter can put several tonnes of snow on an ordinary house roof, and when wet snow or rain is added, the weight increases quickly. At the same time, the risk of falling snow and icicles that can injure people and damage property grows. VOLUX carries out roof snow removal in Stockholm for homeowners, housing associations and property owners. Our roofers work with the right safety equipment and know how to remove snow without damaging tiles, metal or snow guards.

Snow and ice removal on roofs and grounds
Winter calls for different measures depending on the weather and the property. We take care of everything from one-off clearances to recurring jobs throughout the season:
Before
After
Clearing snow from a roof is one of the most dangerous jobs of the winter, and it should always be done with fall protection by people who are used to working on roofs. Before we start, we cordon off the area below so no one is hit by falling snow or ice. We leave a thin layer of snow on the roof, as shovels and tools can otherwise easily scrape tiles, lift metal seams or damage the waterproof layer. We pay particular attention to the eaves, where ice dams and icicles form, and to outlets and drains, which must be kept open so meltwater can run off. As a property owner, you are responsible for ensuring that snow and ice from your roof don’t injure anyone, and regular roof snow removal is one of the most effective ways to meet that responsibility.
Unlike most roofing work, snow clearing counts as a RUT service, not ROT. This means that as a private individual you can get the RUT tax deduction on the labour cost when we clear the roof of your house or holiday home. The deduction is made directly on the invoice.
The RUT deduction also applies to clearing snow from paths and driveways on your property, so the roof and the ground can be handled in the same visit. Housing associations and companies cannot use RUT, but for them a planned winter effort is often essential to meet their responsibilities as property owners and keep pavements and entrances safe.

FAQ
It is rarely possible to tell from the ground. Moss and the odd broken tile can usually be fixed, but if the underlay has become brittle or moisture has reached the roof boarding, a replacement is often the better long-term option. We’re happy to come out and assess your roof, and we’ll give you an honest answer about the most sensible way forward.
Yes, if you own the property and the work counts as repair, maintenance or renovation. This includes roof replacement, re-roofing and most repairs. The deduction applies to the labour cost and is deducted directly from the invoice. Housing associations (BRF), however, cannot use the ROT deduction for work on the association’s roof.
With a complete re-roofing, you receive a 30-year watertight roof warranty. For other types of work, the warranty is stated in the quote and the contract, so you know exactly what applies before the work begins. The manufacturers’ product warranties also apply to the materials we install.
