Roof Repairs in Greenock: What Is Under the Slates
Cunningham builds (joinery), a building and joinery business based in Port Glasgow, covers roof repairs in Greenock and the surrounding areas. On a Scottish roof, sarking boards usually go over the rafters, then felt or a membrane, then battens set out for the slates or tiles that hang from them.
What are sarking, felt and battens for?
Scottish roofs traditionally carry sarking: timber boards covering the rafters from eaves to ridge. Over the boards comes the underlay, which drains away what gets past the outer layer. Then come the battens, set out for the covering that will hang from them.
Roof structure, sarking, felting and battening are all Cunningham builds (joinery) work, with the roof prepared for its tiles. That covers new builds, extensions and repairs.
How to spot a dodgy roofer?
Be wary of anyone who knocks unannounced to say they have spotted a problem, wants cash up front, or pushes you to decide on the spot. Ask to see photographs of the fault and a written quote, and never agree on the doorstep.
What joinery can be made to fit a Greenock home?
Joinery is the making and carpentry the fitting, and in Scotland one person usually does both. Fitted units, stairs, doors and windows are joinery work; floors, roofs and stud walls on the carpentry side.
Cunningham builds (joinery) is a joinery business at heart, carrying building and joinery services together. Door fitting, custom units and repairs to existing woodwork are all part of it.
What is a loft conversion actually used for?
Bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices and playrooms are the rooms Cunningham builds (joinery) builds into lofts. Because the roof already exists, a conversion tends to be the cost-effective alternative to an extension.
Light is what makes a loft room feel like part of the house rather than an attic. Cunningham builds (joinery) fits roof windows and dormers to bring it in, followed by the framing, the plasterboard and the finishing inside.
