Ridge capping blow out!

The UK has had its fair share of adverse weather recently, with arctic-like winters, unimaginable floods, hurricane-force winds, baking heat and severe droughts. 

Upon receiving reports of peculiar flapping noises emanating from the roof at a nationwide electrical supplier in Blackburn, accompanied by sporadic leaks, TGM promptly dispatched a team to investigate. Our assessment swiftly pinpointed the root cause: the ridge capping fixings had been entirely torn off, with loose materials exacerbating the noise during gusty winds. After efficiently removing the damaged materials from the site, we meticulously surveyed the remaining area to assess the extent of the damage and ensure no underlying issues were overlooked. Using precise measurements, we evaluated the ridge capping to determine the exact specifications for a suitable replacement.

Once all necessary preparations were made, we promptly returned to the site with the required materials and equipment to execute a comprehensive repair. Our skilled team diligently worked to restore the roof to its former integrity, ensuring not only its structural soundness but also guaranteeing its impermeability against water ingress. Through our thorough approach, we successfully reinstated the roof’s functionality, providing lasting protection against the elements.
