In July we were asked to inspect a leaking Eyebrow Dormer by D N Gittoes Builders for one of their customers. Upon investigation we discovered that it had been wrongly constructed when the roof was originally built. An Eyebrow Dormer is a difficult and intricate roof structure where the tiles should 'sweep' over the dormer window. In this project we stripped back the tiles to discover that mortar had been used to try to 'stick' the tiles on. We had to remove this before replacing the old tiles with individually cut tiles which we fixed properly to the roof structure. The correct construction means the Eyebrow Dormer does not need mortar and is now sound on it's own merit. It is also not leaking.
When its time to replace your roof, you could do it yourself if you have time and experience. Some people do not and that is why it is important to find a legitimate roofing company to help you with your roofing needs. There are many people out there who are legitimate and ready to work so you will need to weed through the potential companies and find the right one for you.
Choosing the right roofing company is like choosing the right house or car. If the wrong company is chosen, difficulties and issues can arise. Quality and reliability are the two primary factors to look for.
Before making the important decision of "replacing the roof over your head" please consider a few things before you do. Having been through this process several times, there are several factors to consider when deciding on a roofing company.
Cleaning the gutter is a very important home protection task that effectively maintains and keeps the home from possible harm and damages. Contrary to what some people believe, gutter cleaning is not a messy or very difficult job to perform. Using the right tools, the job can be done safely, efficiently and easily.
Fantastic photos. The roof is an important part of any building. It not only protects from harsh weather but also adds aesthetic appearance to the home.
Having a top quality roof is one of the most essential construction processes for a house. Getting this done is not a work for any remodeling firm or construction contractor but is a task which should be given to a professional and commercial roofing company.
Waterproofing is an essential consideration for anyone who is building a basement which they intend to use for storage or habitable accommodation. Too often basement waterproofing is not given high enough priority and as a result a cheap and inappropriate basement waterproofing option is used to try and get inside an unrealistic budget. This often leads to failure and the resultant consequential losses can be disastrous for the owner of the building or property.
