OWC House Renovation

We planned to overboard the ceilings (meaning we leave the old ceilings in place and add new plasterboard over them) because the current old lathe and plaster ceilings (probably the original ceilings so well over 100 years old) are at the beginning stages of falling off in some rooms!

Near enough anywhere the previous owners had run water pipes over a ceilings we find problems, since this is an ex guesthouse with running water in most rooms this means most ceilings have problems!

Covering a few days of roofing work here.

Early Tuesday morning two Roofers from Rooftec (same ones we met on Friday, in the end they did all the work below) arrived at the house and started stripping the front dormer window roof. Would have took photos, but lost the camera!!

This is what they took off-

Their new OSB/Sterling board with associated fibreglass system attached (so they did at least overboard and not as I first suspected, just add the fibreglass to the original roof (so that’s not as bad as I thought).

Below that was what appeared to be a bodged overboard attempt with felt roofing. So someone had fitted a new flat roof over the old flat roof, though the wood used seemed to be a mix of various types!!
