Occasionally, Manchester roofing company Pinnacle Rood and Build are called upon to re-roof certain homes that are within a conservation area, which is a job that takes a lot of special attention to remain in line with the existing and surrounding materials. This roof conservation project from 2022 was completed in Cheadle in the Swann lane conservation area.
The team took a lot of care in planning for this re-roofing job.
Planning
Addressing all concerns with the client and the officials in the area, we were informed that the tiles needed to remain in clay and red colour to match the surrounding area design and the original construction materials.
The job was set for 3 weeks of work using two staff roofers and an apprentice, with a clean-up operation provided by us so that no waste was left in the area.
Work
Upon investigation of the condition of the existing roof, we noticed that the old roof had many broken tiles and no felt underlay, with very little in the way of insulation in the loft area which was resulting in all heat escaping through the roof.
Our team replaced the insulation in the lofty and fixed the felt underlay, bedding the ridges in sand and cement to abide by the conservation societies’ laws of the building. The hips were finished in clay also which was purpose-made by Arris hip tiles.
The lead valleys and box gutter was fully replaced along with all of the chimney’s lead work, installing completely new gutters and drainpipes in line with the original installations.
Result
The job was a straight 3-week project that came in on time despite the high accuracy of the work involved. The customer and the conservation officials were very happy with the finished result, and have asked us to repeat the same process on a neighbouring house in the same area.
