Week Seventeen.
We have had a visit from a zinc roofing specialist who came to see the roof in order to provide a quotation. I had been liaising with Graham - the owner of the company for quite a long time - even before the project started and he said that in order to give us an accurate quote, he would come and see the project as soon as the main timbers were in place.
To cut it short, Graham was concerned about a number of issues with the rear part of the roof, especially the construction of the frame and roof in relation to the brick wall at the rear. He said that as zinc sheds water faster than other types of roofing materials, any heavy rain would shoot off the roof and constantly soak the capstones of the wall and therefore make the wall wet and potentially cause water to come into the building at this point. He was also concerned about our lack of scaffolding around the building. His quotation came in at just under £5,300 which is more than we were expecting (we had been expecting a quote in the region of £4,000 for both sheds) so we are currently looking at other options and other zinc roofing companies.
