Details we pay attention to
A finished roof only shows part of the job. Membrane, battens, timber, leadwork, ridges, verges and flat-roof edges all need to be right underneath as well.
Preparation
We replace or repair failed materials included in the job before the roof covering goes back on.
Detailing
Ridges, valleys, verges, leadwork and roof edges are checked and finished as part of the agreed work.
Finished result
Once finished, the roof and surrounding work area are checked and our waste is cleared away.
