Roofing or re-roofing a building is a very big job and before you even begin, you’ll need to consider the regulations set by the industry and administered by local councils to ensure the project is legal and safe.

How future proof is your home? The answer might just be in your roof It is a fact that many homeowners do not know – warm or cold roof insulation can hold the key to future proofing their homes.

Thinking about fitting facade cladding to your home? Perhaps you’ve seen a neighbour’s house and admired the attractive design or heard about cladding’s many advantages. Need some help making up your mind? Let us take you through what you need to consider before you decide.

How can I use cladding to increase the value of my home? Property experts agree, there are several key improvements homeowners can make to add value to their property. But if you don’t have a cellar to turn into a home cinema, the space to massively extend your kitchen or add on a wrap-around conservatory, what are your options?

The roof is one of the most important elements of your home and if it doesn’t work properly or do the job it should, everything else in your house may be compromised. So before carrying out any work on your roof, you need to find the best professional for the job. Knowing the right questions to ask will make the task a lot easier. Let our Cedral experts guide you through.

Condensation occurs when warm air from the main rooms in a house rises, often reaching the loft space and meeting the much colder part of the roof deck. If a surface is cooler than the dew point temperature – the point when air will be fully saturated with water vapour – condensation will occur as droplets. Condensation is caused by poor ventilation in the roof structure, as well as air leakage into the attic caused by poor insulation between the room ceilings and the floor of the attic. Over time condensation can cause issues within a loft space, whether that is causing damp and mould on exposed insulation or soaking the wood of the roof structure. In extreme cases this can leak through the ceilings to the rooms below.

Is fibre cement revolutionising the building sector? The fact is that those who have tried it have never looked back. That goes for Robert Hichens, a professional installer in Cornwall.
