A Tale of Two Roofs

2 April 2006

Good news!  The workmen have been and gone and they've done a great job!

The lead roof over the font aisle has been renewed; rotten wood has been replaced; lead flashing put where no flashings have been and old guttering replaced with new, long lasting aluminium gutters and downpipes.  All that remains is a final visit from the plumbers to give the lead a coat of oil.

The roof over the lobby between the Lady Chapel and High Altar has also received attention.  More lead flashings and a new pipe to convey water from the conduit that runs through the tower directly to the downpipe at the east end of the roof.

And, don't shout too loudly, they seem to have found and sued the problem that has beset the kitchen for so long.  The PCC is looking at possibilities and we're aiming to have the kitchen back in operation as soon as possible.
