Roof Restoration... !
The place where I live in is in one of the flats of the large council place in Chalvey, Slough. The roof at the time of writing is going through a "comprehensive restoration" notably with new tiles replacing old ones. It is not everyday that something like this happens.
The flats are surrounded by metal rods with planks of wood to support the people doing this huge task. It is rather strange at times to see workers with their hard hats so close to one's flat window chatting away and joking at times. Drill like sounds can be heard on occasion as well as loud knocking sounds!
The initial scaffolding around the flats in Chalvey. More was later added. The photo was taken on a gloomy morning!
More scaffolding and a yellow metal dumpster plus what appears to be a red coloured shute for rubbish from the roof.
The flats from behind where the resident parking spaces are...
Three bollards near to one of the security doors leading upto the flats
Metal bars and nuts and bolts plus wooden planks for workers to stand on for them to do their job..More of the neccesssary was ofcourse added later on.
The balcony overlooking the car park space and park behind the flats which can hardly be seen. Old wooden roof tile supports can be viewed dumped on the right during the roof restoration They have been put onto another simple elevated structure made of metals rods and wooden planks. Also a new fence on the day was very quickly constructed too and can be seen on the far right.
Again another pic of old wooden tile supports along with a large metal waste container beneath. Three cars parked can also be seen.
