Restoration & Refurbishment

Have the roof refelted first or the walls re-rendered first? Advice pls.

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Been getting quotes to have an outbuilding re-rendered which will involve being stripped and re-rendered. The flat roof will be refelted. Advice please - what order would you do the jobs in? Roof job first, walls job second or walls first then roof? Obviously don't want the walls messed up once done but was thinking of getting them done soon. Cheers Thanks everyone ROOF first it is then!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

roof must be done first,very important to seal the building to keep damp out,then you can tackle the rendering.

A dry building is very important so my advice would be to address the roof first, make that water tight and then deal with the rendering.

do your roof first then render. Cover roof with sheets and maybe boards to keep clean before render.

Hi Tom i think you have said it "i dont want the walls messed up" in all builds you would definately not have the walls done before the roof as i thought it was self explanitary. Hope this helps Paul Hayden

A few rules apply to most jobs :- *Preparation is half the job *Always work top to bottom If you prepare the walls (ie. strip them back ready) then start from the top with your roof. This way you'll be sure not to damage the new felt when taking any old rendor off.

always do your roof first as you said this will prevent stains or damage to your new walls when i plaster a room i start with the ceiling first so no mess falls onto the walls also some facia boards may be efected if heat is used on your flat roof hope this is of help regards dave
