Dormer Re-cladding and Roof Repair in Millhouse Green, Penistone
The interior of this dormer was prone to severe water ingress during bad weather and as a result there was considerable damage and dampness inside.
The cladding had not been maintained for at least 40 years and was in urgent need of replacement.
The roof tiles were also weather damaged and were repaired where necessary.
Since the job was carried out all the issues have been addressed and the customer is very happy with the results.
