Hi all,
I posted on here before about this but due to work / life I never got around to completing the work.
We live in a 1920s brick cavity end of terrace property, in the 70s they added a two storey extension for a kitchen and a bathroom with a flat roof.
We have the Flat roof renewed about 20 years ago and it is still in excellent condition, what we did not do sadly is get the facia boards replaced with PVC at the time.
The Facia Boards are now completely knackered and another issue that has appeared since then is that one of three lintels is badly cracked and needs replacing.
There is only maybe one or poss two course of bricks above the lintel so I am hoping that I can replace it with the need for props.
Should I replace like for like? Or as suggested in the linked previous post are there other options.
To replace the facia boards, do I need to lift the edges of the flat roof - requiring a felt roofer?
Below these window is a sun room that was built between our extension and the next door neighbours, this now needs a new roof (currently poly carbonate), so to do this job I need scaffolding as you cannot get at it with a scafold tower.
Advice would be most welcomed on how to go about these jobs.
