To be announced as a WINNER in a national competition is a wonderful achievement for the company and all concerned with this project should feel immensely proud.”
About the winning project
Old Leylands is a beautiful country home dating from approximately 1914 situated in East Sussex. It was discovered that the original part of the house, a simple four hipped roof, may have dated from earlier times with many additions and extensions added - with various repairs having been carried out over a number of years. The property was completely re-roofed using Sandtoft Goxhill hand-made clay tiles and using sheep's wool for insulation as it is more environmentally friendly than the more commonly used PIR solid insulation or roll-out fibreglass.
This was a complex project requiring the management and coordination of many experienced roofing operatives, lead-workers, stonemasons, carpenters, decorators and our specialist rainwater sub-contractor. The customer commented “The project was very well managed and we are delighted with the quality of the work.”
