Roof Repair and restoration.

Here is a repair i did on a roof in  Neer  Limburg.

It is the corner above the window next to the ladder. See the closer pic next.

The whole corner was rotten, as you can see from the yellowish piece of timber i started to replace the rotted pieces.

The next piece along the bottom is fixed in.

 Here is a close up of the corner with the new b ottom pieces in place. You can see the rot still to be removed top left of the pic.

The top right Mitre has been painted to seal it if water gets in again. It will give some time for the exterior painting to be redone before it rots.

Pic from the front angle, with bottom pieces in place ready for the top ones to go in.

The  Photo above  shows the join of the new piece onto the existing bottom piece. I joined it under the the detail for support beam cap. I love the 1930s design !

As you can see from the earlier pic the top left section is rotten too. More than i anticipated at first. You can see the top right piece is in place. I had to cut back 40com of timber with a` chisel and glue in a new piece with epoxy and fill with two pack filler. This treatment is fine for painted finishes. The paint hides the joins and the filler if sanded correctly.  I will post the finished pics when i get the photos done in the next few days.
