The structure was built by the client we then waterproofed using Tyvek vapour permeable membrane and battened using 25mm x 50mm gold batten. The roof was slated in Spanish natural slate to match the existing house with lead fixed and bossed to timber rolls to the hips and ridge. The internal flat roof was decked with 18mm ply then 150mm insulation cut and layed and another layer of 18mm ply fixed through the insulation into the base decking. Parapet outlets were installed through the parapets which required us to weld bespoke lead outlets to waterproof over the slated roof. The flat roof was finished by adhering EPDM to the deck and upstands in one piece.

The garage was constructed by a builder Phil Bastin of Dunsford in Douglas fir and oak. We battened the roof and slated using 250mm x 500mm natural slates. Roofing felt was omitted from the roof to create a rustic look internally. The roof was then finished with timber rolls to the hips and ridge line with lead dressed and formed to create a stunning finish.

A stunning wedding venue on a stunning timber frame building. The roof was covered with Tyvek vapour permeable breather felt and battened to take diminishing courses of natural slate. The natural slates used where delabole Cornish slates and where of random width and diminished in length as the courses ran up the roof from 24 inches at the eaves to 10 inches at the ridge line. Lead was used at ridge level dressed over a timber mop stick. The windows used here where of Cast Iron construction to meet conservation requirements.
