Roofing & Insulation

Description:

Keeping a house weatherproof and in good condition is an ongoing task. Under constant attack from a combination of heat, cold, wind and rain, it is vital that the right protection is in place to keep the elements at bay. This book offers guidance, using step-by-step photographs and line drawings, on a wide range of roofing and weatherproofing jobs, as well as home insulation - all important in keeping problems, and bills, to a minimum. Topics covered include: roofing jobs - replacing tiles, slates and repairing flashings; repairing chimney stacks, woodwork, gutters and downpipes; weatherproofing jobs - replacing putty, sealing window frames and repairing brickwork; insulating jobs - roof, loft and wall insulation, draughtproofing, and double glazing and soundproofing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What You'd Expect

D. · 19 January 2003

Roofing and Insulation, well illustrated fairly informative but not enough on general roofing. Sections on flat roofing, insulation, soffits and gutters are more informative than general roofing. No information on finding leaks in general roofs, no references to best mortar mixes for bedding ridge tiles.The most annoying thing was a chapter entitled "Expensive Jobs" which suggest calling in a contractor! Sorry but I am looking for a book on roofing repairs that I can do myself as I am fed up with the contractors I've used in the past who charge the earth and gallop off into the sunset with my hard earned leaving the roof in a worse state then when they arrived! Perhaps a chapter on tracing leaks in a normal (not flat) roof would be an improvement.
