The team enjoyed this job over in North Elmham, prior to the heatwave!
Slate hooks used to reinstate the existing slates on this large gully renovation. The pitched and flat roofing teams were able to work together to bring this one over the finish line. Unfortunately this whole building was re-roofed only 12 years ago, the slate and lead work by the main contractor was executed flawlessly, however the flat roof gully was always destined to fail. The subcontractor at the time used a liquid system that was applied directly to the new roofing sheets, and an internal water management system was introduced that was unnecessary and ultimately lead to major leaks and issues. As well as the poor design of the flat roof, the loft space was also filled with insulation, which it was not equipped for, resulting in the deterioration of the flat roof sheets due to condensation, or, “sweating”. Our new fleece backed EPDM membrane has been installed with three aperture vents that provide air flow to the flat roof as well as the main loft space. Along with a ten year warranty the customer has peace of mind that there will be no further issues and we look forward to future projects that we have lined up with them.
