The Project - an overview

We (that's the Riley family: me, Andrea, Emily and Treacle the cat) moved to 55 Manor Road at the end of 2008. We knew then that the flat roof dormers would probably need lots of maintenance over the years, and that at some point we would have them converted to pitched roofs. That decision point came a lot sooner than we thought, when last summer (ha, summer) the rain just didn't let up, and even though we had re-sealed the flat roofs with a *lot* of sealant, it still came through.

Turned out we needed planning permission (for the front at least), and to conform to building regulations. We got a few quotes from local contractors, and finally decided to go with Leech & Bond

The existing and proposed plans are shown below (click on them for a larger view):
