ROOF REPLACEMENT TAMWORTH

SERVICE OVERVIEW

• After the roof inspection, we give you the quote which will include the cost of material, labour and taking out the waste
• When you agree on the quote we will set up the date when work starts
• The day before we will set up scaffolding and bring materials on site
• We will start early in the morning by taking tiles down (if you want we can wash and waterproof them for you)
• After tiles, we get rid of all old battens and membranes as well as guttering (if needed)
• At this point, we can put new insulation – Kingspan and/or mineral wool if you want it
• Next, we will install eaves protection support trays
• After this, we will start putting new membrane
• When the membrane is stapled we will secure it further by putting counter battens that will make space between the membrane and battens and improve air circulation under the tiles
• The next step is putting new battens to the exact measurements required by the tile type
• When all new battens are in place we will level them so tiles can lay perfectly
• After putting back all the tiles dry verge caps will be put on
• The next step is putting back ridge tiles – if possible we will use a dry ridge system to improve roof ventilation
• If tiles were washed we would waterproof them at this point
• After all the above work is done we will take down the scaffolding and properly clean the surroundings and arrange for to skip to be removed (if the skip was ordered for this job)
