Heritage Re-roofing with modern insulation

CASE STUDY: Heritage Re-roofing with modern insulation

Location: Littleborough, Greater Manchester

This terraced property we recently worked on in Littleborough has historical roots and is currently a Grade 2 listed building. The roof was in a pretty poor condition and had very little insulation.  Any work carried out had to be sympathetic and in keeping with its listed heritage. Our Eco-roof insulated roofing system was the perfect choice for such a heritage re-roofing project.

• Slates recycled where possible with 3 tonne being replaced with salvaged slate and laid to BS5534 standards
• TLX Gold, Eco-roof thermal blanket laid across the existing rafters secured with battens giving a U-value of 0.4.
• New battens installed to BS5534.
• Ridge tiles re-bedded in heritage lime mortar.
• Lead recycled where possible, replacing all defective lead which was found.
• Fully compliant with current Part L of the Building Regulations
• 10 year Insurance backed guarantee through the Confederation of Roofing Contractors
• Carried out by NVQ fully qualified roofers
