New roof

We recently completed an extensive roofing project that transformed an aging property. The homeowners were experiencing leaks and dampness, making it crucial to update their roof. After a thorough assessment, we decided that a new roof was essential for long-term stability and weather resistance.

For this project, we utilized Redland 49s concrete tiles, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. These tiles blend functionality and style, providing a weather-tight solution while enhancing the property’s overall appearance. Their interlocking design significantly reduces the risk of water ingress, making them an excellent choice for this residential roof.

Alongside the new roof installation, we addressed the existing chimney stack, which was no longer functional and posed a risk to the integrity of the roof. Our team skillfully removed the chimney, ensuring that the structural integrity of the surrounding area was maintained. This step was essential in minimizing complications and preventing future problems associated with unused chimneys.

After the chimney was removed, we focused on installing new roof lining. This waterproof barrier is crucial for protecting the roof structure from moisture and other environmental elements. With 20 years of experience, our team expertly installed the roof lining, providing an additional layer of security for the homeowners.

The installation of concrete tiles required meticulous attention to detail, and we took great care to ensure that every tile was placed correctly. Each tile was secured firmly to withstand harsh weather conditions, ensuring longevity. Our skilled roofers worked diligently to create a flawless installation that met our high-quality standards.

Throughout the project, we maintained clear communication with the homeowners. They appreciated our transparency regarding the progress and challenges of the installation. This collaborative approach helped us address any concerns promptly while keeping them informed every step of the way.

Once the new tiles were in place, we conducted thorough inspections to ensure that every aspect of the installation adhered to safety standards and quality control. Our clients can rest assured that the roof not only looks great but also performs exceptionally well against the elements.

After completing the project, the homeowners expressed their satisfaction with the final result. The new roof, combined with the removal of the chimney stack, gave their property a fresh and modern look. They were especially pleased with the choice of Redland 49s tiles, which complemented their home's exterior beautifully.

In conclusion, this new roofing project highlighted the importance of quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. Our team's dedication to excellence ensured that this property received a durable and visually appealing roof that would stand the test of time. With the new roof in place, the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home is well-protected against the elements.

New porch roof and rear extension roof

A recent project at Bespoke Roofing involved a new porch roof installation alongside a rear elevation lower roof renovation. This undertaking was crucial for improving both the aesthetics and functionality of the property. Our team assessed the existing structures and determined that they required a comprehensive update to ensure durability and longevity.

The porch roof was a focal point of the renovation, as it provided an inviting entryway for the homeowners. We began by dismantling the old roofing materials, paying careful attention to the underlying structures. Once cleared, we installed a new felt layer alongside the battens, which serve as a base for the final roofing material. This foundational work is essential to prevent leaks and moisture damage in the future.

Installation of the eave support tray was another significant part of this project. This tray helps to channel water runoff away from the porch and towards the guttering system, enhancing drainage efficiency. Proper drainage is critical not just for maintaining the structural integrity of the roof but also for preventing water-related issues in other areas of the home.

To elevate the visual appeal of the porch, our team incorporated new mini hips into the design. These small hip sections provide a stylish touch while maintaining the overall architectural symmetry of the structure. The combination of new roofing elements and thoughtful design choices ensures that the porch not only looks attractive but functions effectively.

In addition to the porch, the renovation of the rear elevation lower roof was also underway. This section of the roof had seen considerable wear over the years, and the installation of new felt and battens was necessary to restore its integrity. Similar to the porch, our team worked methodically to ensure that each layer was expertly placed for optimal performance.

Throughout the process, we consistently communicated with the homeowners to keep them informed of our progress. Understanding their vision and addressing their concerns allowed us to tailor the project to their specific needs, ultimately ensuring satisfaction with the final result. Our commitment to customer service remains paramount, and this project was no exception.

With the completion of the new porch roof and rear elevation lower roof, the property not only gained improved functionality but also a fresh and modern appearance. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to quality workmanship, and we look forward to taking on similar projects in the Brighton, Hove, Worthing, and surrounding areas. Homeowners seeking reliable roofing solutions can count on Bespoke Roofing for their expertise and experience.

New flat roof completed

Ensuring Safe and Efficient Roofing Work: A Comprehensive Approach

When it comes to roofing projects, safety and quality are of utmost importance. The following outlines a structured approach that encompasses essential steps to ensure successful flat roof installations and repairs, emphasizing scaffold provision, material replacement, and thorough site management.

Safe Working Conditions

Scaffold and Equipment Supply

To facilitate a safe working environment, it's crucial to supply scaffolding, ladders, and necessary equipment. Erecting scaffolding around the flat roof allows workers to navigate safely while minimizing the risk of accidents. An important addition to this setup is the installation of a rope and wheel rubbish chute, which aids in the efficient removal of debris and materials from the work area.

Roof Examination and Repair

Verge and Tile Replacement

The process begins with the careful stripping of existing dislodged verge tiles. These tiles should be set aside for reuse whenever possible. The next step involves re-bedding the verge using a 3:1 mortar mix, ensuring that any broken or damaged tiles are replaced promptly. Maintenance of the chimney facing the flat roof is also essential, requiring mortar repairs to any damaged brick and mortar joints.

Lead Flashing and Roof Strip

Removing the existing lead from the chimney is a key step before the installation of new code 4 lead flashings. This ensures proper sealing against water ingress. The complete flat roof area will then need to be stripped, including the roof lining, boarding, and asphalt, all of which should be removed from the site. Care should be taken to strip the existing skylight and set it aside for reuse.

New Installation Steps

Joist Support and New Boards

To enhance roof performance, the installation of new firing pieces to joists is required for achieving the correct fall. Following this, new 18mm OSB boards will be laid across the entire flat roof area, providing a solid foundation for the new roofing system.

Arris Rails Installation

Where necessary, arris rails will be installed to support the new layers effectively. The roofing process will include a three-layer flat roof installation: the first and second layers will utilize a 3mm underlay, followed by a final layer of mineral felt. This multi-layer approach ensures enhanced durability and weather resistance.

Drips and Upstands

In addition to the layers, it is essential to incorporate drips and upstands to further protect the flat roof from potential water damage. The attention to these details contributes significantly to the longevity of the roofing system.

Site Management and Clean-Up

Timely Scaffolding Removal

Upon completion of the roofing project, scaffolding should be struck within seven days following the settlement of the invoice. This ensures that the site is cleared in a timely fashion and reduces any prolonged disruption to the surrounding area.

Efficient Rubbish Disposal

Lastly, all rubbish and debris from the site must be removed to maintain a clean and professional environment. Effective site management not only upholds the company’s reputation but also ensures safety for workers and residents alike.

In conclusion, by following these outlined steps from scaffolding supply to final clean-up, we adhere to industry standards that prioritize safety, quality, and efficiency in every roofing project.

Bespoke Roofing Completes Felt Capping of Firewalls and Roof Valleys

Bespoke Roofing is pleased to announce the successful completion of the felt capping installation on two firewalls and two roof valleys for our valued clients.

Roof Valleys
The roof valleys are a crucial component of any roofing system, as they are the areas where two sloping roof sections meet.

Our team at Bespoke Roofing ensured that new fibreglass valleys were expertly applied to the roof valleys, providing a durable and watertight seal to protect against potential leaks and weather-related damage.

Firewalls
Firewalls play a critical role in providing fire protection for a building by compartmentalizing different areas and preventing the spread of fire. Ensuring that these structures are properly sealed and protected is essential for the overall safety and integrity of the property. Our skilled professionals at Bespoke Roofing meticulously installed the felt capping on the firewalls, addressing any existing vulnerabilities and fortifying the barriers against moisture intrusion.
At Bespoke Roofing, we understand the importance of maintaining the structural integrity and weather resistance of roofing components. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality solutions that enhance the longevity and performance of our clients' roofing systems.
