Career - Roofer

Roofers will examine drawings, specifications and worksites to determine materials required and will assess risks. They will erect ladders and tile elevators and will erect and dismantle restricted-height scaffolding. They will place roofing underlays over eaves and secure them by nailing or stapling these to roofs and correctly space and nail wooden strips (battens) across the roof rafters on which the tiles or other roofing material will be placed. They will measure and cut roofing material to fit around vents, chimney edges and the hips and valleys of the roof and fix roof flashings (weatherproof covering) and fix the ridge caps and gable ends with cement mortar or tech screws. They will apply protective paint coating systems and clear the roof of debris after job completion.
