Re-roof Villa Trencal in Javea

Work started on 9th February. The problem here is that the roof leaks, and with the excessive rains of October 2007 the problem just got worse.
The solution: To take off all the roof tiles, clean off the roof surface, lay a skim of about 3 - 4cms of cement mortar, cover this with asphalt and re-lay the tiles.
All sounds very easy, but the roof is about 15m above road level, so getting the materials up there is not quite so easy!

The truck arrived on 9th February with the first load of materials.







Then it was a question of where to put everything. So two sacks of sand went up on to the roof












The roof could only support two bags, the rest of the sand, the cement, the asphalt rolls and the tiles all had to go on the pool terrace.




Under strict supervision ...







So now all the materials are delivered it's time to get on with the actual work of re-tiling the whole roof.


First a walk-way to access the roof via a ladder at the back of the villa.







Then scaffolding at the front to use for getting materials up on to the roof.
