Replacing Damaged Roof Battens
Replacing Damaged Roof Battens
Roof battens are horizontal timber strips fixed to the rafters, providing support and anchorage for roof tiles. They play a crucial role in distributing the load of the tiles and maintaining correct spacing and alignment. Over time, battens can become damaged due to water ingress, rot, insect infestation, or general wear and tear.
PROCESS
- Inspection – A thorough assessment is carried out to identify damaged, weakened, or rotting battens.
- Tile Removal – The tiles in the affected area are carefully removed and set aside for reuse if still in good condition.
- Batten Removal – Damaged battens are detached from the rafters and disposed of properly.
- Installation of New Battens – Treated timber battens are installed in accordance with current building regulations, ensuring correct spacing and alignment.
- Tile Reinstallation – The original or replacement tiles are securely fixed back into place, ensuring a proper fit and finish.
