At Chic Construction Falmouth, our commitment to quality and precision is evident in every project we undertake. Our latest re-roofing project on Conway Road is a testament to our expertise, transforming an outdated roof into a robust and modern solution that stands up to Falmouth’s coastal challenges.
Project Overview
This re-roofing job involved a complete overhaul of both the pitched roof and the adjacent garage flat roof. Our objective was to replace deteriorating materials with high-performance components that not only improve the building’s aesthetics but also enhance its durability and protection against the elements.
Our Step-by-Step Process
1. Stripping the Old Roof:
We began by meticulously stripping away the old tiles, battens, and felt. This careful removal process ensured that we could assess the underlying structure and prepare a clean, stable surface for the new installations.
2. Installing a New Roofing System:
Next, we installed a state-of-the-art breathable felt, which serves as a critical barrier against moisture while allowing for proper ventilation. Alongside the felt, new battens were fitted to provide a secure framework for the new tiles. Special attention was given to Velux window flashings, ensuring these vulnerable areas were adequately protected.
3. Upgrading the Fascias, Soffits, and Gutters:
To complement the new roofing system, we fitted brand-new UPVC fascias, soffits, and gutters. These components not only enhance the overall appearance but also improve the roof’s functionality, ensuring efficient water management and long-lasting protection.
4. Revitalising the Garage Flat Roof:
The project also included a significant upgrade to the garage flat roof. We removed the old bitumen, re-decked the surface, and applied a durable fibreglass finish. This process provided a fresh, weather-resistant surface that complements the newly re-roofed main structure.
