What this work involves
Survey covering, junctions and the structure beneath. A leak may appear away from its source. Coordinate maintenance with assessment of insulation and moisture conditions.
- Covering and junction survey
- Substrate and moisture
- Insulation and build-up
- Drainage and penetrations
- Safe access and temporary protection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Choose openings that remain usable in the second layout scenario.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw two uses within the same floor plan. Mark walls, doors and connections that stay unchanged and identify the alteration actually needed later.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep drawings of unused provisions too. Distinguish items merely prepared from those already connected and assessed.
Which trade-off matters?
Preparing for every future possibility can unnecessarily increase the budget. Compare simple preparation, such as accessible routes and a considered layout, with provisions that might never be used.
Cost factors for this service
Area, roof shape, material, access and substrate repairs determine the budget.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known leaks, approximate area and earlier work.
Questions about the work
Can new covering go over the existing layer?
It depends on material, condition, adhesion, moisture and the complete build-up. Have the roof assessed first.
