SLATE ROOF CASE STUDY
When opening-up reveals more than the original slate scope
The customer’s verified review records an initial requirement for new slates. After work began, additional remedial work to the roof structure became apparent and the project scope changed accordingly.
This profile is limited to what that review confirms. It does not infer the property location, the structural defect, the extent of opening-up, the slate specification or any work that is not described by the source.
Condition revealed during the work
Roof coverings can conceal conditions that are not fully visible before work begins. On this project, the customer records that more remedial work to the roof structure became apparent after the original slate work had started.
Managing a changed scope
The customer records that the additional work was accommodated during the project. The case study therefore demonstrates a changed condition being dealt with after opening-up, without making assumptions about the specific structural defect or work that the review does not describe.
Outcome
The customer described the completed work as a first-class job and recommended the contractor. That is presented as the customer’s assessment of this specific project, not as a guarantee for another property.
Verified customer review
I needed new slates, and Eaton Roofing provided a very competitive quote. Once the job was started it became clear that much more remedial work was required on the roof structure. Eaton were able to accommodate the extra work in a timely manner, at very reasonable rates, and did a first class job, too. Highly recommended.
What this project demonstrates
Concealed roof condition can change an agreed scope after opening-up. Where that happens, the changed condition and associated work should be made clear before new work conceals it.
