This has been a long and tedious project but it's finally over so here's some before and after photos.

This wasn't a project I intended to get started on so soon, but a very windy storm in November 2023 ripped a roof vent off the roof of my indoor pool.




On with a tarp and off I went to make an insurance claim.


The insurance company tried everything they could to reject my claim and offer a very small settlement amount to repair the vent and damaged roof panels, however due to the age of the roof it wasn't actually possible to source replacement parts, their price was theoretical and I argued for a full replacement. Their decision was "final" after several months arguing with them despite making a formal complaint. We made an appeal to the ombudsman, arguing the decision was unfair as nobody could actually repair the roof to the previous condition. After almost 6 months of waiting for someone to be allocated to the case it only took a day for the ombudsman to agree with our argument and instructed the whole roof be replaced. It was almost a year on from the storm damage actually happening and now I had to wait for surveys and dates for the work to take place.

January 2024



Work was meant to start late January however this was the beginning of lots of issues. Scaffolding was built externally and internally over the pool for access, however this was delayed and new dates several weeks later had to be booked in with the fitters.
