Fleece-Backed Rubber Porch Roof Replacement – Houghton Regis
A Quality Construction project in Houghton Regis: Fleece-Backed Rubber Porch Roof Replacement – Houghton Regis. The porch received a clean, modern and durable new waterproof roof finish.
Background
Starting point
The customer wanted a reliable, properly finished solution at the property in Houghton Regis. The starting point was small porch roof over the front door covered with torn mineral felt. The priority was to correct the issue properly and leave a durable, professional finish.
Existing condition
Small porch roof over the front door covered with torn mineral felt. The existing construction and surrounding details were assessed so the scope could focus on the areas genuinely requiring attention.
Challenges
"The main consideration was integrating the new work correctly with the existing property while maintaining weathering, finish and build quality. No unusual additional challenge is recorded for this historic project. Additional project context: Work completed for Alexandre & Co, a regular estate-agency client."
