What do we cover in Swindon?
- Pitched roof re-covering with breathable membrane and new battens
- Flat roof renewal in felt, single-ply or liquid systems
- Chimney repairs, flashings, leadwork and valleys
- 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.
Which rules apply in Swindon?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.
