Roofing That Respects the Building and Its Requirements
Listed-building status can affect roofing decisions before materials or methods are finalised. The client and appointed professionals may need to establish consent, drawings, specifications or conservation requirements for the proposed work.
ER Group London reviews visible roof condition, contributes practical roofing observations and coordinates delivery with the relevant professional team and local authority requirements.
The approach balances sound weathering and careful workmanship with the character and significance of the existing roof.
