Toward the end of this week, we’ve been working on a shed repair project in Deal, focusing on replacing the roof and improving weatherproofing to keep it protected against the elements. The existing roof had seen better days, with leaks starting to cause damage to the interior, so a full replacement was the best solution.
We started by removing the old, worn-out roofing material, checking the structure underneath for any signs of rot or weakness. Once everything was sound, we installed a brand-new, durable roof, designed to withstand the coastal weather. To fully weatherproof the shed, we sealed all joints, applied protective coatings, and ensured proper water runoff to prevent future issues.
Now, this shed is fully protected, with a sturdy new roof and improved insulation against wind and rain. If you’ve got a shed, outbuilding, or garden structure in need of repairs, get in touch, we offer expert joinery and weatherproofing solutions to keep your timber buildings in top condition!
This week, we’ve been busy in Margate, giving a beautiful set of bay sash windows a full overhaul and draught-proofing upgrade. These windows had seen better days, with gaps letting in cold air and some stiffness making them difficult to open. Our job was to restore them to full working order while improving insulation and efficiency.
We started by realigning the sashes, making sure they opened and closed smoothly without sticking. The next step was installing new draught-proofing strips, sealing any gaps while keeping the traditional look intact. Parting and staff beads were replaced, caulked, and finished neatly, and we filled any small imperfections to ensure a seamless result.
With the windows now properly sealed, we turned our attention to the timber repairs. Any damaged areas were carefully sanded, filled, and undercoated, ensuring long-term durability. The hardware was reinstalled, the glass given a thorough clean, and the frames wiped down to leave everything looking fresh and well-maintained.
Now, this Margate bay window is draught-free, smooth to operate, and ready to stand the test of time. If your sash windows need expert restoration, we’re here to help - get in touch for a free consultation!
