Stripping off the concrete tiles, lath battens and bitumen under felt. When this garage was constructed the pitch of the roof was made far too low for this type of covering. The rain water has got into the building under the felt through the laps due to the lack of flow on the roof. We are converting it into a flat roof with an EPDM rubber cap sheet to solve the problems.
Raking out & re-pointing the failed mortar on the water table coping stones at the verges, on the chimney stack flaunch, the chimney stack & the ridge tiles.
Preparing & sealing the lead flashings, re-pointing the failed mortar on the water table coping stones, re-bedding & pointing the chimney stack coping stones plus re-rendering the failed render on the chimney stack.
Stripping off the concrete tiles & rotten lath batten to carry out repairs to the damaged bitumen under felt adjacent to the lead valley using breathable membrane pitched roof underlay. When this property was constructed the lath battens were cut slightly too short at the side of the valley and did not rest on the valley board. Consequently over time the weight of the concrete tiles has slowly pushed the ends of the lath battens down through the bitumen under felt which in turn has caused water ingress into the property.
Installation of new gas cowl at the ridge line. Bedding & pointing the new ridge tiles.
Removing the remainder of the chimney stack & closing off the gap left behind using new tanalised lath battens & reclaimed Rosemary clay tiles.
Removing the redundant chimney stack which has been causing extreme damp inside the property.
Strip & re-cover of flat roof using Classic Bond EPDM rubber cap sheet.
Repair to stone step.
Installation of flat roof trims and re-pointing the failed mortar on the ridge tiles.
Closing off the cavity left behind after removing the redundant chimney stack using new tanalised lath battens and tiles plus installation of new flat roof deck using Sterling OSB roof board & EPDM rubber cap sheet.
