— Why bungalow roofs are different
A lower building can still have
a large, complex roof.
Because the accommodation sits on one level, a bungalow roof may cover a wider footprint than the roof of a two-storey house. More surface area, longer gutters and multiple hips or valleys can all affect materials, labour and drainage.
Porches, garages, rear additions and flat-roof sections are also common. Their junctions with the original roof need to be understood before the quotation is finalised.
Easy-looking access should never be assumed. Conservatories, narrow side paths, neighbouring boundaries, overhead services and fragile lower roofs can influence the scaffold design.
