The problem

What we were dealing with.

The original roof had reached the end of its life across the whole structure. An octagonal plan with a raised turret means eight hips meeting a central cap, and every one of those junctions is a place water can get in once the material goes.

Scope of work

  • Full strip of the existing roof, including the central turret
  • Timber and batten inspection with replacement where required
  • Sarking laid across the full roof area before sheeting
  • Colorbond sheeting set out to follow all eight facets
  • Custom hip and ridge flashings made to suit the octagonal geometry
  • New cap and flashing detail to the turret
