Tower for reaching the gable

The loft conversion
A tower is used here to enable work to be carried out on the ridge and rafters.  Here you see the new gable built up from the existing main house and the doorway in what will be the new loft conversion.

Roof tiles to match

Velux windows in
The new roof is now insulated, felt and battoned and tiled in, and is now fully water tight.  The new loft conversion is now built over the existing house and sheeted in every night to keep dry.  Once the entire roof has been built and tiled, the inside work can commence.  The existing roof is now removed and the breakthroughs into the main house are started.
