Challenges

Old, leaking roof with extensive water damage.

Poorly designed drainage system with undersized box gutters.

Timber fascias rotting and falling away from the structure.

Damaged asbestos eaves requiring removal and replacement.

Solar panels installed across the roof that required careful removal and reinstallation.

Scope of Work:

Preparation & Safety

Carpentry modifications to allow for correctly sized box gutters with proper fall.

Installation of new timber base frames to support custom box gutters.
