TILED ROOF, BRIGHTON

This job was for one of our regular builders.

We installed a 25mm over facia vent to allow air flow into the loft space to prevent condensation ‘sweating’. We then felt and battened the existing roof and extension using a high-performance breathable membrane and dried blue treated battens. These are fixed with 63mm ring shanked passload nails.

The solar panels on this property were fitted by a specialist solar panel company.

We layed in the machine made clay tiles and fixed with 40mm alley nails. All verges were set in a 3 and 1 sand and cement mix. All permitters double nailed and due to the high winds down in Brighton we nailed every 2nd course of tiles apposed to the standard every 5th course.

We also installed a dry ridge system, these are mechanically fixed with 100mm screws (which again aids against high winds) it acts in situe with the over facia vent to allow cross ventilation through your roof to stop condensation and allow the roof to breath.
