Roof - update


The new roof is looking pretty spectacular. And the great news is that the guys believe they’ll finish the main section by Friday. Next week, they’ll start the front door canopy and the cloakroom roof – assuming the main contractor can get the timber construction installed in time. That’s pretty good going and, probably, the most efficient team on site for a very long time. Hard-working guys with a professional attitude. That’s Geordies for you!
