Roof awnings - I love a challenge




Dr Newby had suffered from a ridiculously hot conservatory for too long. By the time we arrived he'd lost countless items of furniture, and the space was redundant as a useful living area.

The clever chaps who'd installed the roof hadn't been clever enough to add ladder bars for us to rest on and so we had to improvise with a couple of long planks. Being a short plank, I was happy to climb over the roof all day.

We encountered no problems on site, chiefly because I'd surveyed the job carefully and we arrived well tooled up and armed with everything we needed. The results were great and I'm reliably informed that the room has been transformed from something nice to look at into something rather more functional
