Brief Overview
All our client's projects involve the refurbishment and re-roofing of existing, occupied buildings rather than installing roofs on new buildings. They work as a main contractor and not as a sub-contractor and so we have to supply all our own scaffold and other necessary facilities.
Their projects include flat roofs, traditional pitched roof materials (slates and tiles), and industrial sheeting and cladding. This is reflected in the materials and systems they use, which include high-performance built-up roofing felt, cold liquid applied membranes, slating and tiling, and sheeting and cladding systems.
They also often carry out external refurbishment works, usually as part of a roofing project. This might include re-pointing of chimney stacks, external decoration, and the replacement of windows and rainwater gutters.
