With the bad weather and Storm Boleo hitting us at the moment, it took me back to this job we started back in January.
We started this one as an emergency due to damp in one of the bedrooms. When we inspected the roof (which had been replaced only 18 months ago 🤦♂️), what we found could only be described as a waterbed. The “new roof” had simply been slapped on top of the old one.
We began work, and then the heavens opened. It was one of the wettest Januarys I can remember, and definitely one I will not forget! We did the best we could and sheeted the roof as best as possible. Despite this, every few days we would be back up there in the terrible conditions, adjusting the sheeting and trying to make sure it didn’t leak again.
Finally, around March, we managed to get a good run at the job and get the new roof on.
The job consisted of:
-New timbers and structure to create a new box gutter.
-Restec Flexi-Tech flat roof system installed.
-New coping stones all around, capping the parapet walls.
-New felt, battens and tiles on the rear elevation, including hips and ridges.
