UNDERSTANDING THE RE-ROOFING PROCESS.
Re-roofing can take 2 to 4 days to complete, depending on the size of the roof. There are 10 steps to the re-roofing process.
Safety is a priority. Before commencing any work Monier guardrail is installed around the perimeter of the roof to prevent roof tilers from falling and to keep your family safe.
All the old roof tiles and ridge are removed.
The roof timbers are inspected to make sure the battens are sound.
Sarking provides insulation and reflects up to 95% of radiant heat entering the roof.
New battens are installed ready for the new roof tiles to be laid.
New battens are installed ready for the new roof tiles to be laid.
Tiles are laid sequentially up the roof from the gutter line and fixing clips, or nails, are used to secure the roof tiles to the roof.
Ridge tiles are installed and bedded in place using mortar.
Pointing is a flexible material that covers the mortar and comes in a colour that matches the roof tile. It acts as a mechanical fastener, keeping the ridge in place. It is also used to finish the tiles at the gable or edge of the roof.
Guard-rail is removed and the site is tidied and any left over roof tiles removed.
