Phase Three – Roof Renovations
2016 saw us move onto renovating The Old Woods Hospital the roof was in dire need of repair, we needed to replace the whole roof and undertake pointing in certain areas to protect the interior of the building and halt any damage already caused by the building being empty for so many years.
After careful consideration LJ Roofing won the tender contract and work began in Late April 2016, LJ roofing were passionate about our project and ensured that a percentage of the original roof tiles were re used to reduce costs, helped to source lower cost supplies, ensured their whole team understood our project and did everything they could to ensure the project was delivered on time and within budget.
As a fundraiser at our charity ball in 2016 they also offered to engrave individual roof tiles for our guests and place them onto the roof this generated over £1500.00.
The project was finished in September 2016 and LJ roofing still support our charity by fundraising, attending events and raising awareness for our cause and are now firm friends of the charity.
Thank you to the following companies for helping with the project:
Carter Scaffolding
LJ Roofing
