Another job ticked off this week , a tidy little lean‑to re‑roof in Queensbury 📍
The original roof dated back to the 1940s, and to be fair, it’s done well to last this long. But it was showing its age with sagging timbers, slipped slates and tired leadwork.
🪚🔨 What we did:
• Stripped the full roof and salvaged all reusable slates and copings
• Installed new 75×75mm treated timbers to replace the sagging/split timber
• Laid 300 mm insulation for a warmer, more efficient space
• Fitted new breathable felt and 25×50mm battens
• Re‑slated the roof with new leadwork throughout
And keep an eye out for our lead‑cast butterfly 🦋 a little detail we love adding to jobs like this.
A pleasure working on this one. Clean, detailed, and a big improvement for the property.
