Why bungalows suit a full re-roof with the roofline
A hipped bungalow has roof edge on all four sides, so the fascias, soffits and gutters run the whole way round. When the roof needs replacing, renewing the roofline from the same scaffold saves paying for access twice and lets the bottom row of tiles sit properly on the new boards.
This job also replaced roof timbers. On older bungalows, rafters and beams can soften where water has come in at the eaves or a hip for years, and the only time to deal with that properly is when the covering is off. See our new roofs and fascias and soffits services.
