The project
How we put it right
The problem
The flat roof on a double garage had a damaged felt covering, with damaged sections of roofing board beneath it and six defective timber joist ends.
The challenge
Before work could start, a temporary supporting roof structure had to be put up at one corner of the flat roof.
The six defective joist ends were cut back, and specialist galvanised steel joist repair plates were inserted into the existing pockets, packed tight with blue slate and bolted in a tri-shank formation for extra strength.
The new flat roof carries a 5-year guarantee. We advised the customer to renew the solar reflective compound every 24 months for the best protection.
