Renovation Details

Roof

The whole of the Roof was totally stripped down to the Rafter’s and Purling’s and all of the timberwork inspected. Any damaged Rafter’s and Purling’s where replaced and all the timber was then pressure spray treated with a strong specialist insecticide.

As a further structural consideration and assurance measure, the whole of the Roof was externally covered with lapped Canadian Maple in order to structurally tie all of the Rafter’s and Roof framework together to form a solid rigid structure for lasting strength and primary weather seal. This was then covered with a specialist high grade PVC Monoply felt using a vertical and horizontal double lat system to satisfy natural airflow between the solid roof and PVC Monoply, whilst also facilitating the support and fixing of the tiles. The 11,500 Tiles utilised on the roof are a, French, interlocking clay tile, fixed every third lat, supported with a dry ridge system.

Windows & Doors

The external fittings, minus roof-lights, amount to 6 x Double Doors, 2 x Single Doors, 1 x Large Arched Door, and 32 windows. All these fittings are double glazed Bespoke units, made in Hardwood to fit the existing openings and preserve the Buildings unique character and perspective. The 10 strategically placed roof-light fittings, are a three position opening double glazed unit, manufactured in a strong PVC waterproof housing.

Walls

The exterior walls are a 450mm solid supported on a 650mm foundation wall which after excavating was found to be over 1.8 meters below ground. The entire outer wall surface has had its original rendered coating repaired and a further Tyrolean coat for added weatherproofing.
