At RG Leverett, we’ve always prided ourselves on the quality of our workmanship and this recent project in Norwich is a perfect example of why the quality of installation is as crucial as your choice of roofing system. We were called out to a property where we found the customer’s recently installed skylight to be in a dangerous state - it was quite literally on the verge of collapse.
Upon closer inspection it became clear that the skylight had been installed and built wrong. The result is an installation that not only looks poor and increases the chances of a leak, but also becomes a significant risk to the building’s occupants.
Creating a Clean and Modern Finish
Fortunately our team was able to help. The first priority was the safe removal of the incorrectly built unit. With the area cleared, we were able to begin preparing the roof for a new, long-term solution.
We fitted a new GRP roof covering to ensure a solid and durable base for the new installation. GRP is a specialist material that is known for its strength and reliability. With this in place, we could be confident that the structural foundation of the new rooflight was now up to professional standards.
To complete the installation, we installed a new Korniche lantern. The Korniche system is engineered with superior strength and aesthetics, and unlike the previous unit, it is built to last. This system now provides a clean and modern finish that has completely transformed the overall look of this roof space.
Guaranteed Peace of Mind
This project was as much about providing a permanent solution as it was about fixing the original mistake. The owner of the property can therefore have confidence that, thanks to the 25-year Topseal warranty included with this installation, their roof is now safe, secure and professionally guaranteed for decades to come.
Choosing the right team to install your rooflights can all too often be the difference between a beautiful home feature and a structural failure. This project demonstrates the importance of integrating your skylight perfectly into the roof membrane to ensure that it remains stable for the long term.
