Bungalow re-roof, seen from the air
About this job
A full re-roof on an L-shaped bungalow, photographed from the air as the work went on. The scaffold went up round the whole house, the old concrete tiles were stripped off, and the roof was covered in new membrane and battens.
New tiles were then lifted up to the roof by crane, loaded out across the slopes and fixed course by course. Seen from above, it is easy to follow how a re-roof comes together.
