External Refurbishment Articles & Guidance
External refurbishment can involve much more than replacing
individual roof coverings. The condition of masonry, leadwork,
gutters, flashings, roof edges, parapets and adjoining
construction can all influence how well a building keeps out
water and performs over time.
A survey-led approach helps establish which components can be
repaired, which require renewal and where several trades or
materials need to be coordinated. This is particularly useful
on older properties and complex commercial or heritage
buildings.
Planned works may include slate or tile roofing, flat roofs,
leadwork, zinc, pointing, chimney repairs, roofline components,
rainwater goods and associated building-envelope details.
Access and temporary protection should also be considered at
the planning stage.
Coordinating external works as one project can help avoid
repairing one element while leaving a neighbouring defect
unresolved. Roof drainage, wall junctions, flashings and
weathering details should be considered together where they
form part of the same building envelope.
Safety and access are also central to refurbishment planning.
Scaffolding, edge protection and safe methods of work should be
appropriate to the building and proposed programme. Official
guidance on working at height is available from the
Health and Safety Executive .
