Description
Roofs and their associated coverings are arguably the most important element making up the external enclosure of a building by providing protection from the climate to the construction and internal spaces beneath them. This book will bring together information to identify, investigate and diagnose roof defects in all classes of buildings; maintain operational efficiency of existing roofs by devising appropriate programmes of repair or improvement; and design and specify remedial works to roofs and their associated coverings.
