Quote: roof covering renovation
E.g.: renovating an existing roof with no structural change, 1960s house
Describe defects, past repairs and attic use. Send plans and reports, then assess retention or renewal. Age and marked area alone do not justify complete replacement.
Define findings and uncertainty
Request examined parts, defects and inaccessible areas. Distinguish appearance, material, fixings and moisture signs. Damp timber alone does not justify chemical treatment; examine cause and structural state.
Compare retention and replacement
Explain repairability, old-to-new connections and option limits. A single slope can be assessed without promising a lower area price. Select by identified defects rather than an automatic age threshold.
Prepare removal
Identify old materials and records. ITM describes identifying suspected asbestos before relevant works. Confirm contractors, procedures and rules for the work date, then removal and disposal. Do not arrange sampling yourself.
Define junctions and neighbouring work
Buildwise shows roof-to-wall, other-roof and drainage connections matter to leakage control. List renewed and retained details, windows and equipment. Coordinate insulation and possible later façade work before fixing levels and finishes.
Arrange protection and handover
Describe access, protection, storage, temporary weatherproofing and interruptions. Define changes when concealed elements alter scope. Plan checks before covering, photos, product references, reservations and upkeep instructions.
