Full Re-Roof of Grade II Listed Former School Building

Hawkins Lane

Location: Burton on Trent

SEI Roofing recently completed a full re-roof project on a Grade II listed former school building on Hawkins Lane in Burton upon Trent.

The existing roof was fully stripped back to the original rafters before new breathable membrane and treated battens were installed. Due to the listed status of the property, special care was taken to preserve the character and appearance of the building throughout the works.

The original scalloped slates were carefully removed and retained in order to demonstrate that there were not enough usable existing slates to complete the roof replacement in keeping with listed building requirements.

New ridge tiles were custom cast and colour matched to replicate the original ridges and maintain the traditional appearance of the property. Lime mortar was also used throughout to ensure the materials remained sympathetic to the age and style of the building.

A fantastic project to be involved in and a great example of specialist roofing work carried out in Burton upon Trent.
