Before we start on replacing your felt and batten we put are PPE on to protect us and any other things needed to protect you and the public will be doing it to the (HSE) and the health and safety act 1974 and working at height regulations 2005. so we shall start to get scaffolding up and around your house to then tip of rotten batten and ript felt so that we can skip it and start to apply the new felt we get. then when felt has been applied all round the roof we start to mark out battens to place were original concrete or slate tiles
