MTBS Building Work
MTBS Building Work
Work continues on the Armour roof which has been stripped, insulated and is in the process of starting to be re-tiled. Additionally, a number of support lintels have been removed and replaced and the dormers that they supported re-built.
To add to the history and character of the building, whilst removing one of the old concrete lintels, it was found that the reinforcement bar used in the construction of the lintel, was an old piece of narrow gauge railway track, clearly our builders were recycling in the early 1900’s.
The following images show the inner valley of the roof before, during and after the slates had been removed and replaced, showing the attention taken by our contractors, to reinstate slates to their exact position, which you can see in the image where there had been Lichen growing.
Our contractors are working hard to keep the programme of works on track and are currently looking at works required to make good, the upper floor classrooms once the roof works are fully complete.
