Roofing
Roofing is a critical part of keeping a project weather-tight and visually balanced. On extensions and renovations, the roof must work with the existing house, structural design, insulation, rooflights, drainage and external finishes.

What the work can involve
- Constructing or adapting roofs as part of the agreed project.
- Coordinating roof structure, insulation, membranes, tiles or coverings.
- Integrating rooflights, lanterns, guttering and drainage details.
- Weathering junctions between new work and the existing property.
Decisions to consider early
- Which roof form best suits the building, budget and planning context.
- How rooflights affect light, heat, privacy and structural layout.
- How gutters, downpipes and neighbouring boundaries will be handled.
A practical route
- Review the drawings, structural details and existing roof conditions.
- Agree covering type, rooflight positions and drainage details.
- Progress structure and coverings at the right point in the wider build.
- Complete weathering, rainwater goods and internal making good as agreed.
