JOB DESCRIPTION:
The scope of works for this project involved a comprehensive roof and canopy refurbishment, including significant structural, roofing, and finishing elements. The works began with the careful removal and salvage of existing roof materials, such as slates, battens, felt, deck, and associated fittings, to expose the underlying rafters and structural elements. The open entrance canopy and surrounding roof areas required dismantling of existing components, including soffits, joists, and roof lights, to prepare for the installation of new structural and weatherproofing systems.
New structural joists, insulation, decking, and fire-stopping were installed to ensure compliance with modern standards and improve the building’s performance. A complete new roofing system was then constructed, incorporating a high-performance membrane, Isoline board system, Velux roof lights, and re-laid salvaged slates to maintain the building’s original aesthetic. All lead work, flashings, and verge systems were renewed to provide durable and watertight detailing.
Finishing works included the installation of new fascia boards, gutters, soffits, and decorative cladding, all painted to match the existing finishes. Electrical services associated with the canopy were disconnected, removed, and reinstated as part of the refurbishment, ensuring full functionality upon completion. Overall, the project delivered a complete renewal of the roof and entrance canopy structure, combining heritage sensitivity with modern construction standards.
