Kitchen Refurbishment Project Week Two

The main focus this week has being to prepare the roof in readiness for the new slates. 

Firstly, the old concrete tiles, old lathes, and old felt, had to be removed.

The rafters were generally in good condition and if any were showing signs of rot, especially where they rested on the outside wall, they were repaired. All the roof timbers were treated for added protection against future rot and any infestation.

The rafters were covered with breathable waterproof membrane and new tiling lathes fixed.

Natural slate tiles are being used. This week they arrived on site and are now ready to fix. Firstly, the new Velux roof windows needed to be installed.

On Thursday the representative from Howdens who are supplying the kitchen units visited the project and made final measurements and calculations as part of the procurement process. The final plan was agreed and confirmed with delivery within two to three weeks.
