New Contract for works including erection of full scaffolding to facilitate the removal of the existing slate finished, pitched roof coverings and complete recovering of all roof areas with reclaimed natural slate including a supplementary roofing felt. Joinery repairs and replacements to the roof construction will be carried out prior to recovering the roof slopes.

Further works include repointing and flaunching chimneystacks, replacing all existing lead work and installing loft insulation to existing roof spaces. Some timber replacements are anticipated to the clock tower and on completion, the timber detailing will require external redecoration works to finish.
