With the glazing a conservatory roof gone we had left an area which used to house the wet room and kitchen.
This needs to be completely demolished before we can begin any of the new build. The first area to go was the slate tiles on the roof. I was intending to save these but unfortunately those that aren’t broken or cracked are mostly shot. They simply crumble in the hand. Not a huge issue as there are no where near enough to cover what will be the new roof and the almost certainly would not tie in with the new slates in any case.
With slates gone the roof timbers were next. This wasn’t too tricky as these joists were not fixed at all well at the top and simply lifted away . . . .
Having taken off the roof joists there remained a very large supporting beam at the bottom of the roof structure to be removed. A small section of wall that seemed to be supporting this was doing no such thing. I’m still wondering how it was still standing – I barely touched and the whole thing fell down!
As with all these jobs you need some sort of supervision. . . . .
