A-Frame Blasting FAQ
Details that affect the plan.
How do you reach high roof timbers?
Access is assessed for each building and may involve appropriate scaffold or mobile tower arrangements included in the project plan.
Will every rafter match?
Natural timber and previous finishes vary. The aim is a coherent result, not artificial uniformity.
