Bungalow & garage re-roof · West Sussex · 3 weeks
A leaking bungalow roof, stripped back and rebuilt
The roofs of the bungalow and its adjoining garage and workshop had aged badly and were leaking in several places. A full roof survey showed patching would only buy time, so we recommended a complete re-roof.
Stripped both roofs back to the rafters, taking off tiles, felt, battens, fascias, soffits and guttering. With the roof open we upgraded the loft insulation to current Building Regulations and fitted eaves protection trays, rafter rolls, a breathable membrane and treated 25 × 50mm battens.
Finished in Redland 49 tiles in Slate Grey, with every hip, ridge and valley completed dry-fix rather than bedded in mortar, so there is nothing to crack and re-point in ten years. New fascias, soffits and guttering throughout, with vented soffits to keep air moving through the roof space.
Two fully renewed roofs, properly insulated and ventilated, and a cleaner roofline than the property started with.
