A Roof for Les Merveilles

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project work consists of replacing the existing roofing, insulating the new one (15 cm of wood wool) and installing ventilation duct with a chimney. The surface of the roof is 270 Sq. meters. You will install provisional construction safety rails and fencing to secure the site, dismantle and drain old roofing cover, lay 15cm of wood wool in between the existing beams, install 25mm thick larch wooden boards (sheathing) and install battens and counter battens before the steel gutters. We will work 4 days a week (8h30-12h) (14h-17h30) and you will be supervised by a technical leader.
