Roof Cover is a significant milestone for your home. At this stage, most of the structural works are complete and it’s important to ensure that the roof structure is thoroughly checked before moving onto the next stage.
- Roof beams are not just placed into position, but also welded or bolted together to restrict movement in the roof. At the brickwork stage, there were structural columns and tie down rods installed that are now connected to the roof beams, anchoring the roof to the footings.
- We ensure that all bolted connections are carried out as per the engineers specifications and we document this by taking photo’s of the works once complete.
- For this home, we have used a feature splayed gutter to the front elevation to add to the striking floating porch.
- Next stage is plastering, glazing and lock-up. Then, we can start the inside of the home.
