Thousands of years ago, humans didn't just have the luxury of phoning up their local contractor and asking for a furnished 2-bedroom bungalow with a brand new (weatherproof) roof.
Don’t have the time or all the materials to fix your Roofing? Brentford residents aren't left in the past thanks to Firminger Roofing Ltd!
As time moved on, so too did the roofing materials improve in both availability and quality - with new construction methods and practices created. Long after the Romans time (those who created the first proper roofing materials with imbrex-and-tegula), we have made fantastic progress in the technology and material sciences (see; Roofology!). With each advancement we have changed the way we put buildings together. From animal skin origins, the modern art of roofing is not only more hardy and resistive to damage but provide more flexibility in construction of bigger and more complex and open-plan buildings - any cathedral you see from the renaissance-era onwards is a testament to our creativity and ambition.

Luckily you don’t need to rush off out to nick a woolly mammoths hide to stay warm tonight, but the roofing trade has gone through a massive change over the last couple hundred years - although the main motivations are clear as ever; safety and protection from the elements. Staying warm when its winter and staying comfortable when its summer. A roof secures our home and everything inside and provide security and safety when properly maintained.

Roofing - We’ve NEVER liked getting WET
Shelter has always been one of the instinctual needs for most species - especially ours, the Human Species and it’s ancestors - and mankind have been innovators in taking materials from the wilderness and building dwellings from little-to-no hand tools initially. With the progression of time, however, improving designs of architecture for structures ultimately saw the humble roof of grass become slate, and ornate in appearance. You could say that roofs have defined cultures and civilisations throughout world history (which puts us roofers in a very prestigious place … at least to us).Sorry Mammoth - I’m Colder than you are!
The farthest back an instance of roofing was recorded was in 40,000 BC-era Siberia in the form of a giant mammoths skin pelt. Much later the Romans in 100 BC would bring in slating and tiling and then 735 AD - much later again - thatched roofing started being put together for the first time. It would be three centuries more before the wood shingle and it was only in the 12th century onwards things really got underway. Around that period, it was King John of England that decided that buildings in London would move away from thatching and reeding for their roofing and move to clay tiles - and this was by royal decree, mind you and was enforced sternly. Otherwise, this was the beginning of the general mass production of roofing materials and the beginning of proper craftsman in the trade.Don’t have the time or all the materials to fix your Roofing?

Is your Roof Part of the Future or the Past?
Roofs mean protection and safety in our modern lives, but it’s rare we take time to stop and consider if they are in working order. With these innovations through-out time we’ve mentioned; effective shelter and roofing has allowed us to construct and reside in abodes all across the globe and in the most unforgiving environments such as deserts and arctic tundra. Roofs have protected us from the biting wind of high mountains and have even have been part of the greatest monument palaces in history such as Versailles and Buckingham Palace.For Roofing that will stand the test of time across Richmond and beyond - call upon Firminger Roofing - Richmond residents trusted Roofing specialists!
