Roofing job at Holland Park

Just doing a small roofing job out at Holland Park today.
It's actually a reroof, original people to put the roof on didn't do the flashing to the building code of Australia and the profile they used was not adequate for it, because the pitch of the roof was less than 5 degrees. They had used corrugated iron instead of something like Trimdek so we have had to remove the whole roof, cut back the sheets on the original roof, put in extra battens to support each end of the new flashing, put in a new larger flashing and install Trimdek roofing sheets.
Then we put some infill strips between the flashing and the new roof, scribe the new profile in the new flashing, screw the whole thing down, sweep off the swarf so it doesn't rust. It's beautiful! while we're up there we gave the gutters a bit of a clean out as well.
