Epping ridge dragons installed on roof elevations

This property in Epping showcases a range of fantastic ridge dragon finials on the many roof elevations. The dragons are installed on the gable ends and there is a mixture of large, medium and small dragon finials that have been creatively used to create features on the roofs. Most are used on the main roof elevations and the smaller dragon has been used on the garage

The property itself is brick built and has cream rendering and dark wooden beams which give it character and it is topped by a clay tiled roof, roofed with clay plain tiles of various terracotta and brown colours to create a nice rustic brindle effect. It looks like the property may have once had wooden roof finials judging by the fascias and soffits but the upgrade to the tiled roof and finials is a vast improvement. This property has interlocking clay ridge tiles and this is a very good example of where although you may have interlocking ridges you can still incorporate roof finials and the roofer works back from the finials and the cuts and angle grinding is done on corners or where the ridge run terminates

The property has a lot of character due to the overall look and the dragons really help to make it eye catching and interesting. Also of note is the fantastic and ornate working chimneys which are set on large grand chimney stacks. The soot from the chimney and local weathering conditions will ensure the roof and dragons weather nice and naturally over the years to further enhance the look and character of the property
