What do we cover in Lincoln?
- Pitched roof re-covering with breathable membrane and new battens

- Gutters, downpipes and gullies cleared, repaired or renewed
- Loft ventilation and insulation top-ups during roof works

How do we deliver it?
Loft ventilation and insulation are checked during roof work, because a new covering over a poorly ventilated loft can cause condensation problems of its own.

Social landlords are commercial clients under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so the full client duties apply. Where there is more than one contractor, the client appoints a principal designer and a principal contractor.
