Speed up your build with our
Weathertight Package
Secure your structure to protect it from the weather
Weathertightness is one of the most crucial stages in a self build. It involves making the structure secure to protect it from the weather, and is vital to get in place before the build can progress internally.
There are lots of trades to organise, all of which depend on each other and need the superstructure to be at the correct stage for them to be able to begin.

Perfect for First Time Builders
Peace of Mind
For first-time self builders, making the structure safe and secure with the internal timber environment protected from the weather offers peace of mind that the heavy work has been done.
Accelerated Progress
Site progress can accelerate, unhindered by bad weather and external cladding can even be completed at the same time as working internally.
Funding
At the Weathertight stage, a major funding milestone is achieved, meaning funds can be released by your mortgage provider.
What do I get with the Weathertight Package?
• Roofing membrane, battens & roof finish
• External windows and doors
