We are pleased to announce a new roofing project at Darwin College, Cambridge, involving the replacement of existing lead coverings and the installation of a new Bauder and green roof system.

The existing lead coverings, originally installed during the 1960s, are now in poor condition, with numerous previous repairs beginning to fail. Our works will involve the careful removal of the existing lead coverings from the roof area, façade and dormer windows.

New lead coverings will then be supplied and installed to the façade and dormer windows, along with new lead roof cappings, all completed in accordance with current LCA regulations.

To the flat roof area, we will install a new Bauder roofing system, together with a green roof system. This will provide a high-quality, environmentally friendly roofing solution designed to improve the performance and longevity of the building.

The completed works will bring the roof areas up to current standards while providing durable and sustainable protection for Darwin College for many years to come.

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the restoration project at Little Massingham Church, Norfolk. This significant undertaking will involve extensive roofing, timber, and masonry works to ensure the preservation and longevity of this historic church.

Our expert team will be carrying out a range of essential works across multiple areas of the church, including the North Aisle, South Aisle, South Porch, and Chancel Roof.

Project Scope

North Aisle

Work on the North Aisle will begin with the installation of scaffolding to allow for the safe removal of the existing roof coverings. Once removed, necessary timber repairs will be completed before installing a new stainless steel batten cap roof system. The cast iron gutters will be repaired or replaced, and new code 5 sand cast lead flashings will be installed. To finalize this phase, masonry pointing work will be carried out around the new flashings, along with various stone repairs.

South Aisle

Similar works will take place on the South Aisle, where we will first erect scaffolding and remove the existing roof coverings. Once the timber works are complete, we will repair or replace the cast iron gutters and install a new stainless steel batten cap roof system. The final stages will include the installation of new code 5 sand cast lead flashings, masonry pointing, and essential stonework repairs to restore the aisle’s original character.

South Porch

For the South Porch, scaffolding will be set up to safely remove the existing roof coverings and carry out timber restoration. Repairs and replacements will be made to the cast iron gutters before installing a new stainless steel batten cap roof system. The project will also include the installation of new code 5 sand cast lead flashings, masonry pointing around the new flashings, and various stonework repairs to maintain the porch’s historic integrity.

Chancel Roof

The Chancel Roof will undergo the same meticulous process, beginning with scaffolding installation and the careful removal of existing roof coverings. Once timber repairs are completed, we will repair and replace the cast iron gutters, followed by the installation of a new stainless steel batten cap roof system. The final steps will involve fitting new code 5 sand cast lead flashings, along with masonry pointing and stonework restoration to preserve the architectural beauty of the chancel.
