Our team have just completed a new roof installation job in Great Yarmouth with the highest roofing standards as always. The original roof had asbestos sheets that needed to be removed. We have a local company we use for asbestos removal who are very good and removed all the asbestos for us in 1 day.
We had to do timber work to accommodate the new tiles, 2 Velux roof skylights and solar panels that were installed after we finished the roof. The team worked very hard and get all roofing works completed in 7-10 days.
We did everything from stripping and timber work to new skylights, felt, batten and tile installation. The verges were cemented to finish and lead added for flashing. We used dry ridge system for better ventilation. Celotex insulation was also used inside the roof to make the rooms better in summer and winter and for better energy rating.
Safe Asbestos Removal
The original roof featured asbestos sheets, which required careful removal to ensure the safety of both residents and workers. Partnering with a trusted local asbestos removal specialist, all hazardous materials were professionally cleared in just one day, paving the way for a safe and modern replacement.
Structural Timber Work and Roof Preparation
To accommodate the new roofing system, extensive timber work was undertaken. This included reinforcing the roof structure to support new tiles, the integration of two Velux roof skylights, and the future installation of solar panels. The team’s expertise ensured that all preparatory work was completed to the highest standards, providing a solid foundation for the new roof.
Complete Roofing System Installation
The installation process covered every aspect of a modern roofing system:
- Stripping and Timber Work: Removal of old materials and preparation of the roof frame.
- Skylight Installation: Two Velux skylights were fitted, bringing natural light and ventilation into the property.
- Felt, Batten, and Tile Installation: High-quality materials were used throughout to guarantee durability and weather resistance.
- Cemented Verges and Lead Flashing: These finishing touches enhance both the appearance and weatherproofing of the roof.
- Dry Ridge System: Installed for improved ventilation and reduced maintenance, ensuring the roof remains in optimal condition for years to come.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
To further improve the property’s comfort and energy performance, Celotex insulation was installed within the roof space. This upgrade helps maintain a stable indoor temperature year-round, reducing energy costs and boosting the building’s energy rating.
Efficient Project Delivery
The entire project, from asbestos removal to the final tile, was completed within 7–10 days. The team’s dedication and attention to detail ensured a smooth process and a high-quality result.
