A new roof cover was installed to replace the old dilapidated roof. This required repair works to the existing roof framework and the staging of the installation as the works were carried out through the winter months. Prior to commencing the demolition works, and as part of the site establishment, breathable floor protection was installed to protect existing timber parquetry flooring to the main hall that was to remain and a temporary propping design and methodology implemented to support the existing load bearing structure internally.
