We're Speechless! A roofing mistake and a half...

Is this what they mean by a "Flying Freehold". It is amazing and must have been tricky to construct - more cowboys about!!

Now that is what you call a well ventilated roof.

Clearly a dangerous structure.

Contractor presumably unaware of CDM15 and
who wants to be Principal Designer on that project?

What a fantastic use of skyhooks!

Who is the wiz at photoshop?
So come on, show us the real photograph!!

We would love to take credit for such a clean Photoshop job, but can't. That's the real unaltered image, unfortunately.

Totally reckless
Whoever did this should be named, shamed - publicly vilified and never allowed to build anything else - not even in Lego. Put some photographs of them in the news.

I can only imagine that they have built and braced those two separate roof sections on the ground, and then craned them up in two lifts to sit on those raised sections of blockwork. PRAY for no windy weather, else it'll be going back down !!

Glad I'm not the neighbour! What idiot contrived that. Not good for the industry, the weather doesn't look good either.
Wonder what the outcome, did it get finished or demolished?

I remember my dad building roves on the ground in the late fifties. They were then lifted by the ridge once the brickwork was up to wall plate and wall plate bedded and solid. It's possible this roof is solid but the support! I have to say that if I saw this I would doubt the roof construction too.
Still you know what they say on site when you point out H&S? Its all a matter of common sense. Exactly, that's why we have rules. Some people either don't have any or they don't use it. There's little hope.
