Roofing and Renovations - Angus A Young - Traditional and Modern Roof builds and repairs



ROOF RESTORATION, SURREY: This is a 100 year old property where the roof had seriously deteriorated. We gave it a major overhaul during November 2002.
The old cast iron pegs had swollen over the years, blowing the top of the tiles, which had started slipping down. The roof consists of approximately 50,000 peg tiles. Great care was taken in the stripping, sorting and cleaning of all the peg tiles and fittings. Almost all were re-used - even the broken halves were re-used either for the top eves or for the tile under-cloak. The approximate loss was 20%. The works took three months to complete, including all timberworks and castings that had to be replaced.
