The Re-roofing installation process
When you choose Men@WorX we will be with you every step of the way - from selecting the material to suit your needs right through to the installation. To help you prepare, here is a step by step guide on the roof installation process.
1. Install safety rail
Safety is a priority. Before commencing any work Men@WorX guardrail is installed around the perimeter of the roof to meet any health and safety guidelines.
2. Remove old tiles
All the old roof tiles and ridge are removed.
The roof timbers are inspected to make sure the battens are sound.
(As a standard offer, we replace battens and underlay.)
4. Install Underlay*
Roofing underlay used by Men@WorX is a breathable, absorbent, bituminous, self-supporting building paper specifically designed for use in domestic homes. It provides a second line of defence against moisture entry, absorbs condensation that forms on the underside of the roof cladding material, reducing air movement in roof spaces, and provides protection against the entry of dust and dirt.
5. Install new battens**
If required, new battens are installed ready for the new roof tiles to be laid.
6. Load up new tiles
The new roof tiles are sent up to the roof using a conveyer system.
7. Start laying new tiles
Tiles are laid sequentially up the roof from the gutter line and fixing clips, or nails, are used to secure the roof tiles to the roof.
8. Pointing
Pointing is a flexible material that covers the mortar and comes in a colour that matches the roof tile. It acts as a mechanical fastener, keeping the ridge in place. It is also used to finish the tiles at the gable or edge of the roof.
9. Finish
Guard-rail is removed and the site is tidied and any left-over roof tiles removed.
