4.5m x 2.5m Pergola / Canopy built in this Macclesfield garden using 4x4 'free from heart' posts (to prevent splitting), 6x2 roof structure and 4x2 struts, all bolted to the wall and ground. Four 18mm plywood sheets covered the roof, followed by a single EPDM 1.5mm rubber membrane roof to keep the weather out and last for +25 years.

Loft boarding and new 3-section aluminium loft ladder installed in the Macclesfield new build property.
A slightly different loft boarding job this week – no insulation above the top floor ceiling, as the insulation is built within the roof panels – so no need to install loft legs to prevent the insulation being compressed. OSB T&G boards installed directly on the ceiling joists to create a solid additional storage area.

Complete insulation replacement in this Macclesfield property and the addition of a raised boarded storage area.
The original loft insulation between the joists had degraded over time and needed full replacement with new 100mm insulation.
This was then cross-lined with additional 170mm insulation over the entire area, providing the 270mm recommended insulation depth.
A separate raised boarded area was also created, to provide additional home storage.

10’ x 5’ pre-fabricated shed build. A little challenging to fit some of the panels as not exactly made by the manufacturer, but overcame the issues and got it built and weather-proofed just before the rain started!
Job done.

Another painted decking area cleaned today… this time the paint had been applied to the deck boards which had previously been treated with a cleaning product, but the decking paint had not adhered to the boards properly. So cleaning the old paint off was relatively easy.
Once thoroughly dried (let’s hope we get some better weather soon) the client has asked for a natural clear decking oil! Result 👍🏻😀

A big mistake some people make with their decking, is to paint it… once you do, it is likely to peel and/or wear over time and pretty much impossible to remove and go back to the natural wood.I’d always recommend using a good quality decking oil, but if you have to paint your decking, you need to accept that you will need to thoroughly clean it and then re-paint it periodically.By jet-washing, you can carefully remove a lot of the old paint and give it a good clean, but care should be taken to avoid damaging and ‘furring’ the decking boards.This deck proves the point… once cleaned and allowed to thoroughly dry, a new coat of grey Ronseal decking paint will bring this back to life! 👍🏻

Venetian style cladding to hide this retaining wall.
