We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious restoration project at Burghley House, Stamford. Known for its architectural grandeur, Burghley House is an iconic historical landmark, and we are honored to be entrusted with its care. Our team will undertake several critical tasks to preserve and enhance this beautiful structure, ensuring its legacy endures for generations to come.
Project Overview
- Removal of Existing Lead Coverings to the Bell Tower: The first phase of the project will involve carefully removing the existing lead coverings from the bell tower. This step is crucial to preparing the structure for the installation of new, more durable materials that will better protect the building from the elements.
- Recasting of the Existing Lead Roof Coverings by CEL Lead & Hard Metals: As part of the restoration process, the existing lead roof coverings will be recast by CEL Lead & Hard Metals, specialists in leadwork restoration. This ensures that the historical materials are reused and revitalized in a manner that respects the building’s heritage.
- Install New Sand Cast Lead Coverings in a Wood Roll Roof System: We will install new sand cast lead coverings in a traditional wood roll roof system using code 8 lead bays, including a lead gutter. This system is designed for durability and weather resistance, while preserving the historic aesthetic of the bell tower.
- Supply and Install New Sand Cast Lead Decorative Boxing: As part of the decorative work, we will supply and install new sand cast lead boxing. This detailed craftsmanship will enhance the architectural beauty of Burghley House, adding a refined finishing touch to the roof restoration.
