1. Assembling the Materials: Before you start roofing with UPVC, you should thoroughly check the material to make sure all components are present and in good condition, such as screws and bolts. 

2. Measuring the Area: You'll need to measure the area where the roof will be installed. This will help determine the size and number of panels that you need, as well as the amount of fasteners you will require.

3. Installing the Battens: To secure the UPVC sheets, you’ll need to install wooden battens across the top of the roof. The battens should be nailed down at an angle of 15°, allowing for overlap when the panels are placed. 

4. Installing the Panels: Once the battens are securely attached, it’s time to start laying UPVC sheets. Start from the bottom, then move up, overlapping each panel roughly 10 cm (4 inches). Then nail the panels down with two nails at each joint.

5. Sealing the Joints: To ensure the roof is completely weatherproof, seal the joints with UPVC tape or sealant. Make sure you cover all the seams and use enough material for a complete seal. 

6. Finishing Touches: Add any ridge caps and flashings that you need, and secure them in place with sealant. If necessary, you can use silicone sealant to reinforce the joint areas. Finally, check the roof for any damage and make sure it is properly ventilated.
