Another roof restoration completed by the team in Edinburgh.🏴
This was a substantial project involving the complete renewal of the roof covering, leadwork and cupola, helping secure the building for many years to come.
Works carried out included:
✔ Complete strip and renewal of the existing roofing system
✔ New breathable roofing membrane throughout
✔ Reclaimed Scotch slates to the front and rear elevations
✔ New Cupa Heavy H3 natural slates to the internal roof slopes
✔ New 3-layer felt system to the central gutter section
✔ New lead-lined cupola platform
✔ New lead watergates
✔ New lead cappings to wall heads and parapet details
✔ Comprehensive renewal of leadwork throughout
✔ Manufacture and installation of a brand-new traditional timber cupola
A great effort from everyone involved and a fantastic end result. It’s always rewarding to see these traditional Edinburgh roofs brought back to life while maintaining the original character of the building.✅
