The roof, and nothing beside it.
We don't build the house. We make the part that meets the weather.
-
New pitch
Battens, membrane, tile and ridge, set out so the courses land cleanly on the eaves.
-
Strip and retile
When the tile is tired and the shape of the roof is right, we take it back and lay it again.
-
Flat roofs
Parapets, outlets, and the edge where a flat roof meets a wall. Dull work, and the part that leaks if it is casual.
-
The small pieces
Flashings, soakers, valleys, chimney backs. Most leaks live here, not in the middle of a slope.
A section, not a slogan.
Pitch, course, ridge. If those three are true, the roof looks after itself. If one of them drifts, the water finds it.
How a job runs.
-
01
Walk
We get on the roof, or as close as it allows, and say what we can actually see.
-
02
Scope
A short note. What stays, what goes, and what the water is doing.
-
03
Make
The crew does the roof and leaves the garden as it was.
-
04
After rain
We look again once the weather has had a say.
