North Bengal Roof And Metal

You can find us on Gm Road in Siliguri, which is right in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. North Bengal Roof And Metal is the name on the sign outside. Our yard is usually filled with stacks of corrugated metal sheets and various bits of roofing hardware. Siliguri is a major junction, so there is a constant stream of traffic moving past our front gate, mostly trucks heading up toward the hills or down toward the plains. The air is often damp here, and when it rains, it really pours, making a loud drumming sound on the metal we have stored. We spend our time helping people figure out how much material they need for their sheds or houses. It’s a very hands-on job. My hands are usually stained with a bit of rust or dust by lunch. We have a small office area that’s mostly just for keeping the books and taking payments. It’s not a place for suits and ties. We wear sturdy boots and clothes that we don't mind getting dirty. The guys in the back are always busy loading up vehicles for deliveries across the district. We’ve been at this spot on Gm Road for a good while, and we know most of the local drivers and contractors who stop by. It’s a straightforward business, dealing with solid materials and the local weather, and we like it that way.
