What an absolute pleasure it was to be working on the Norfolk Broads on this job. Felt and battened and then Tiled in using Canadian CEDAR shingles, it’s not often we get to work with these tiles, but it’s a dream when a roof looks this good when finished. The customer is over the moon and we are also So pleased with how it has come out.

Been a while since our last post. Having a month of after Xmas due to a shoulder injury wasn’t a great way to start the year, but it’s been great to be back out there this week. Was asked to do a garage which turned out to be the size of a bungalow. Edilians hp10 Huguenot tiles looking great with the cloaked verge tiles. Every tile clipped. Ridged with interlocking imerys dry ridge system.
