Re-Roofing Project in Hopwas/Tamworth
The brief
This late-1800s property in Hopwas, near Tamworth, was undergoing a full refurbishment, and parts of its roof were over a century old. C Kearney Roofing Ltd was appointed to carry out a full overhaul of the tired roof while keeping its original character.
The challenge
Keeping a period roof authentic means keeping the details that make it distinctive. This roof had hog's back ridge tiles, valley tiles, arris hip tiles and wet-laid verges, and every one of them needed to stay.
Our approach
Careful attention to detail was given throughout so that all of the original features were kept, rather than swapped for modern alternatives.
Materials
After much consideration, the ever-beautiful Dreadnought Staffordshire Blue clay tile was selected.
The result
The overall appearance of this home has been totally transformed, with a roof that looks right for its age.
