Roof Decks.
London has probably
more roof decks than anywhere else in the country - most of them
built by us over the past 10 years.
Two specific skills are required for roof decks. Proven construction
knowledge to assess the suitability of building a deck on a roof
and the skill to load large amounts of timber up to 8 storey heights.
The main thing
we will look for is whether or not your roof is strong enough and
not likely to spring leaks once the deck is built. We build every
roof deck onto solid rubber suspension pads to prevent point-loadings
and maintain efficient drainage under the deck.
Often, great skill is required just to load the timber onto the
roof. Small decks only one or two floors up have the wood pulled
onto the roof on a scaffold pulley. Larger jobs require heavier
equipment...
...and a great
deal of planning. On the right is our 60 tonne crane that can lift
up to 10 floors. We may also need to liase with the local authority
for road permission. Either way, you can leave it all to us. We
have years of experience and have built more roof decks than anyone
else.
Planning
Permission
There are some
local authority restrictions in Central London, particularly in
conservation areas. We can advise on your project and apply for
the necessary permission to build. Generally though, this is not
required and a roof deck will give you a new view on the world.
