Roofing/Siding Skillset

Roofing

• removing or repairing broken tiles or slates (stripping)
• checking that the roof timbers are sound
• measuring and cutting materials to the correct size and shape
• recovering the roof – laying strips of felt onto timbers, then re-fitting rows (courses) of tiles or slates
• cutting and fitting lead flashings around chimney stacks and adjoining walls
• sealing roof joints with mortar, for example on ridges and hips to make jobs watertight

Siding

Siding gives you a great way to add color and definition to your house. There are lots of options these days to help you create the perfect façade and you want to choose carefully. While aesthetics are always important, you also want to consider the material’s durability, ability to resist water, ease of installation and versatility.
