• Inspect Roof Damage: Roofing labourers inspect roofs to check for any damage to the shingles, tiles, or waterproofing and identify areas where repairs are required.
• Estimate Costs: Roofing labourers estimate the labour and material costs for each job and determine whether additional weatherproofing or insulation will be required.
• Install Insulation: To make the structure more energy efficient, roofing labourers install insulation or vapour barriers and cut materials to fit the corners and walls so that everything is sealed and leak-proof.
• Choose the Right Materials: Roofing labourers need to ensure that the correct materials are used for the job, from wood and slate to asphalt and steel.
• Keep the Construction Area Tidy: To meet health and safety regulations, roofing labourers ensure that the construction and work areas are kept clean and tidy and that any dangerous materials or tools are kept out of walkways to prevent accidents.
