What this work involves
Survey covering, junctions and the structure beneath. A leak may appear away from its source. Coordinate maintenance with assessment of insulation and moisture conditions.
- Covering and junction survey
- Substrate and moisture
- Insulation and build-up
- Drainage and penetrations
- Safe access and temporary protection
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Compare glazing and shading as connected envelope components.
What the drawing needs to explain
Record window orientation, opening elements and existing shade. Add the main use periods so a specialist can assess the comfort question concretely.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep operating instructions and maintenance agreements for the different systems together. Record where filters and inspection points must remain accessible.
Which trade-off matters?
More glazing does not automatically call for active cooling. Compare window size, shading and use first, then assess which technical provisions are appropriate.
Cost factors for this service
Area, roof shape, material, access and substrate repairs determine the budget.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs, known leaks, approximate area and earlier work.
Questions about the work
Can new covering go over the existing layer?
It depends on material, condition, adhesion, moisture and the complete build-up. Have the roof assessed first.
