Case Study

Heritage Re-roofing with modern insulation

Case Study: Heritage Re-roofing with modern insulation


Project Location: Littleborough, Greater Manchester

This terraced property we recently worked on in Littleborough has historical roots and is currently a Grade 2 listed building. The roof was in a pretty poor condition and had very little insulation.  Any work carried out had to be sympathetic and in keeping with its listed heritage. Our Eco-roof insulated roofing system was the perfect choice for such a heritage re-roofing project.

Project Overview

  • Slates recycled where possible with 3 tonne being replaced with salvaged slate and laid to BS5534 standards
  • TLX Gold, Eco-roof thermal blanket laid across the existing rafters secured with battens giving a U-value of 0.4.
  • New battens installed to BS5534.
  • Ridge tiles re-bedded in heritage lime mortar.
  • Lead recycled where possible, replacing all defective lead which was found.
  • Fully compliant with current Part L of the Building Regulations
  • 10 year Insurance backed guarantee through the Confederation of Roofing Contractors
  • Carried out by NVQ fully qualified roofers

Modern insulation for heritage re-roofing

Installing our Eco-roof thermal blanket ensured this roof fully complex with current Building Regulations, Part L (conservation of fuel and power). Our Eco-roof thermal blanket insulation is a very popular method of insulating heritage properties. It is extremely energy efficient, reduces the risk of condensation yet is fully breathable. This product is BBA Certified and it is ideal for use on all heritage properties, including those that are listed – just like this property in Littleborough!
