Roof preventative maintenance?

I have just used a inkjet printer syringe to place a drop of oil on the bearings.
No harm in 9 years.

I had my roof 'serviced' by a v.reputable roof specialist while in for a repair. They lubricated all the hinges / pivot points and I've had no issues at all. The mechanism works beautifully.

They recommend an annual roof service, which is probably overkill, but just goes to show that you can lubricate the mechanism.

The roof mechanism uses phosphor bronze bushes which shouldn’t be lubricated.

Hi Rob,
Where did you find this information about the material? Didn't read that anywhere before.
