The brief: To complete a two-phase roof renovation at Ripley St Thomas School in Lancaster, which is a 150 year old. Ask Roofing provided extensive lead and slating work for Thurland Castle, a Grade 2 listed building which dates back to. The brief: To replace the roof structure and create a new roof on a unique Grade 1 listed building in.
A quality new roof can last for over 100 years. We use new slate from local sources, for example Burlington Blue or Westmorland Green slate which is in keeping with the local architecture. For other applications, we may source slate internationally, from Europe or South America. The process of creating a new roof generates less waste and the effect is stunning.
We have specialist experience of listed building roof work in the Lake District and North Lancashire. The roof and its underlying structure are some of the most important features of a listed building and many have survived for hundreds of years. We do everything we can to repair rather than replace and use salvaged and reclaimed materials or natural alternatives.
By salvaging what we can of the existing slate, and supplementing with carefully sourced used slate which matches the original, we can produce a beautiful and durable roof which matches the existing character of the building. When applicable, the rebuilt roof will last for many more years, and the cost can be kept down.
We can use lead cladding as an alternative to tiles, PVC panelling or oak cladding and it has the benefit of durability - giving year round protection and remaining corrosion free when professionally installed and treated. It is a really good option for vertical panelling. We've installed lead cladding around dormer windows, to fascias and cornice work and can work on pitched and vertical surfaces.
