• Structural & Roof Repairs: Dismantle collapsed roof sheeting, trusses, and purlins; clear debris; remove damaged brickwork; repair with matching bricks in cement mortar; apply plaster and matching finishes.
• Roofing & Insulation: Install galvanized IBR roof sheets on pine purlins and premanufactured trusses (pitch 10); apply aluminium foil insulation sheeting.
• Rainwater Goods: Supply and install seamless gutters, downpipes, brackets, stop ends, hopper heads, and PVC fascia boards.
• Interior Finishes: Install suspended gypsum board ceilings on steel grids; replace damaged laminated flooring with sound-reducing underlay and click-lock planks; fit aluminium Venetian blinds to specified window dimensions.
