Private Residence East Dereham

Green Roofs, somewhat belatedly in the UK, are now being specified across a whole spectrum of new build projects. The recreational area provided by a roof garden not only transforms an out of bounds part of a building, but brings many benefits to the environment.

Architect Gill Tewkesbury designed and built her new home specifying a green roof supplied by Euroroof, this Company together with Erisco Bauder having pioneered the green roof concept in the UK. Faber Roofing as specialist installers for both companies' systems has successfully completed private and commercial projects.

 

 

Northfield House Mundesley

This property sits alongside the bowling green and was formally a rest home for employees of South East Gas and passed to the then Local Authority in 1951, who converted the property into twelve flats to provide accommodation for local people. In 1974 responsibility for the property passed to North Norfolk District Council, the new Local Authority. The new millennium saw the need to re-roof and the contract was awarded to Faber Roofing. Black glazed pantiles by Pottlebergh were specified and have become a feature providing a dramatic contrast to the white chimneys and elevations as they sparkle in the sun, crowning this very striking property.

The traditional tiled appearance of this Bungalow has been achieved using lightweight "Decra" tiles to overlay the original felt roof. Specified by the owner, the resulting appearance of the property has been transformed, and enhanced to blend more symathetically with it's picturesque location.

The roof to the Kitchen and Utility areas of this delightful cottage had a failing chipboard deck. The solution recommended and proposed by Faber was to provide an insulated composite plywood deck with a High Performance Bauderflex felt system. The result has provided the owners with peace and mind in the knowledge that flat roofs do work when installed by a quality contractor.
The chipboard deck to the double garage and balcony areas of this striking property had failed due to water ingress. Invited to submit proposals to provide a long term solution (In excess of 20 years), Faber recommended 18mm plywood decking to BS5268 PT2 with a High Performance modified felt system. The contract was duly completed in a competitive market, and won on the strength of a reputation for "Quality" established over a 30 year period.

This former rectory had asphalt waterproofing to both front entrance porch, and garage areas which had reached the end of its serviceable life. having invited Faber to carry out its "FREE" survey and condition report service, the owner proceeded with preparation and overlay proposals, which included careful consideration of detailing items, always essential to ensure a successful long term solution.
