FLAT ROOF REPLACEMENT
What a transformation we made to these 4 blocks of flats in Swanage.

Firstly we got to work removing all of the straw and asphalt (which had been laid on top of rotten Stramit) right back to the roof joists.
WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!
Removal in progress (and what a gorgeous view!)

LEAD WORK - AFTER
And after we replaced the leadwork around this chimney.
TRANSFORMING AN OLD OUTBUILDING
This is how it looked before we set to work repurposing this old outbuilding near Pimperne.
First, we removed all the original tiles, set them safely aside, and then began work on reconstructing the building and the roof.
Once the work was complete it was time to reroof the building using the original peg tiles.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
The finished result is a pretty little cottage that’s now on airBnB.

… AND THE LEAD WORK TO VALLEY

ALL SORTS GOING ON
This roofing was a disaster with water having nowhere to go except inside the property!
STARTING OVER
We completely rebuilt this roof in Milton Abbas, which included replacing all the rafters and wall plates.
A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION
