S&J was selected to undertake a specialised roofing renovation on a historic property in the picturesque area of Bradford on Avon.
This project focused on renewing the front and rear flashings and performing intricate copping stone works, ensuring both the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the property.
Scope of Work:
Front and Rear Flashing Renewals:
– Our team began by carefully removing the existing worn-out flashings from both the front and rear sections of the roof. We replaced them with high-grade lead flashings, expertly installed to provide optimal waterproofing and durability. The new flashings were chased into the stonework and re-jointed, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit that blends seamlessly with the historic character of the property.
Copping Stone Works
The copping stones, essential for protecting the parapet walls from water penetration, were in need of attention. We expertly lifted and reset the existing copping stones, addressing any underlying issues with the mortar bed. Damaged or deteriorated stones were replaced with carefully selected matching stones to maintain the architectural integrity of the building. Our skilled craftsmen ensured that the copping stones were securely bedded and pointed, providing both functional protection and a refined finish.
Challenges & Solutions
Historical Sensitivity: Working on a historic property required a delicate approach to preserve its original charm. Our team employed traditional techniques and materials that were in keeping with the building’s historical context, ensuring that the renovations did not compromise its heritage value.
– Weather Considerations: Given the unpredictable weather in Bradford on Avon, we implemented weatherproofing measures throughout the project to protect the exposed areas during the renovation process. This ensured that the property remained safeguarded against any potential water damage.
