How Does Roof Renovation Work?

Roof renovation is a crucial step in extending the life of your home and improving its energy efficiency. But how exactly does the renovation process unfold?

1. Roof Condition Assessment

The first step is to have a professional assess the condition of your roof. This includes checking the roofing material, structure, and drainage system. If you’re also planning to replace roof windows, their condition will be evaluated as well.

2. Removal of Old Roofing

Once the assessment is complete, the old roofing material is removed. Old tiles or metal sheets may be damaged or worn out due to age and need to be replaced.

3. Repairing the Roof Structure

After the old roofing is removed, the roof structure is inspected and, if necessary, repaired. Wooden beams may need reinforcement, and insulation can be added to improve energy efficiency.

4. Installation of New Roofing

The next step is installing the new roofing material, whether it’s ceramic tiles, concrete tiles, or modern composite materials. If you’re also replacing roof windows, it’s important to choose a roofing style that complements them both aesthetically and functionally.

5. Roof Window Installation

If you plan to install new roof windows, the best time to do it is during a roof renovation. New windows can improve natural lighting and energy efficiency in your attic or upper floor.

6. Final Inspection

Once the renovation is complete, a final inspection is carried out to check for waterproofing, drainage, and overall quality.
