DJS Metal & Lead Roofing Ltd are proud to announce that we have been awarded the project of Kings Parade, Cambridge.

Project Description

The Kings Parade Restoration Project is a testament to our commitment to preserving history and architectural elegance. Here’s a glimpse into the intricate and comprehensive restoration work planned for these twelve historical properties:

  1. New Sand Cast Lead Roofing, Gutters, Valleys, Flashings, and Rainwater Goods: The jewel in the crown of this project is the installation of new sand cast lead roofing, which extends to gutters, valleys, flashings, and rainwater goods. This upgrade not only promises enhanced durability but also maintains the historical authenticity of these properties. The sand cast lead will be supplied by none other than CEL Lead & Hard Metals Ltd, known for their excellence in the field.
  2. Stripping of Areas of Existing Slates and Hips: The process begins with the careful removal of areas of the existing slates and hips. This step is essential for the structural assessment and preparation of the roofs for the new sand cast lead roofing.
  3. Stripping of Existing Sand Cast Lead Bays: The existing sand cast lead bays will be stripped, allowing for a meticulous examination and restoration of this iconic feature.
  4. Installation of New Code 7 Sand Cast Dormer Roofs: Adding a touch of grandeur and authenticity, new code 7 sand cast dormer roofs will be installed. These dormers are not just functional but also add a touch of historical charm to the properties.
  5. Reinstatement of Existing Slates and Hips: After the necessary restoration work is complete, the existing slates and hips will be carefully reinstated, ensuring that the historical elements of these properties are preserved.

Preserving Heritage Through Restoration

Kings Parade is not just a street; it’s a living testament to Cambridge’s rich history and architectural heritage. Our commitment to this project is fueled by profound respect for this heritage and an unwavering dedication to preserving it.
