This is not your average domestic dwelling but it is a domestic
dwelling.
All be it costing in excess of £14m.
On this project, the contractor had the responsibility to redesign
the roof in order that the leadwork complied with the current LSA
recommendations, including Bay sizes, clipping detail, bossing,
lead welding and fixing that are critical for the expected
longevity of lead sheet.
Although difficult to see in this photo, there is provision for
ventilation where flashing is turned into the stonework. This
provides adequate ventilation below the timber substrate to avoid
condensation problems.
A general shot of the roof layout. In particular note the
ridge detail where short pieces are used with lead welded cappings
over the rolls, thereby avoiding excessive bossing,
maintaining the lead thickness with no thinning.
It was also necessary because the roof was raised so high from the
original to create a landing space in order for the door access for
the roof to be catered for.
I am sure that everyone would agree that this is an excellent
example of leadwork.
The winner of the Domestic & Residential Category is Exe Valley
Services for Melbury House -
