A Roofing Revelation in Ventnor: Transforming Homes with Moose Extensions, Renovations & Roofing

At Moose Extensions, Renovations & Roofing, we take pride in turning roofing challenges into opportunities for transformation. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a roof replacement project in the picturesque town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.

The task at hand was not just about renewing a roof but about revitalizing a home and ensuring the safety and longevity of its structure.

Surveying the Scene:

When our client approached us, concerned about the state of their roof, our team quickly got to work. The initial survey revealed a critical issue – asbestos-laden roof tiles. Knowing the risks associated with asbestos, we made the crucial decision to replace the entire roof covering for the safety of the occupants and the longevity of the property.

Before the roofing magic could begin, our skilled team contracted scaffolders to erect a sturdy structure around the property. Safety is paramount, and a well-constructed scaffold ensures that our team can work efficiently and securely.

With the scaffolding in place, the team approached the task of asbestos removal with the utmost care. Every step was meticulously planned and executed.

All waste material was double-bagged to prevent any contamination, and a nominated disposal company ensured the safe and environmentally friendly removal of the hazardous material.

As the old roof tiles were stripped away, we uncovered more than just asbestos. Hidden beneath were signs of rot in the roof timbers. Although we were aware that we would find this, it always looks worse when you drill down to it. However, it didn't deter us; instead, it fueled our commitment to providing a comprehensive solution and our skilled craftsmen replaced the damaged timbers, ensuring the structural integrity of the roof.

To elevate the new roof to modern standards, we introduced composite fibre cement slates. These durable and weather-resistant slates not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the overall longevity of the roof.

The installation process was seamless, with every detail attended to with precision.

Understanding the importance of a well-ventilated roof space, we implemented a ventilated dry ridge system.

This approach not only keeps the attic dry but also ensures proper ventilation, preventing issues like mold and mildew in the future.

The before-and-after images of the project showcase the remarkable journey from a dilapidated roof to a robust, aesthetically pleasing structure.

The new roof stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence in every aspect of roofing.
