How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Denton by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
