West Country Tiling at Blenheim

The works at Blenheim Palace involve stripping and recovering the Great Hall Roof and the North Portico plus all associated leadwork.

The roof covering on the North Portico is random Westmoreland Slates. We have stripped the roof and sourced replacement slates from the Burlington Quarry before re-slating. We also stripped out the lead from the box gutters, had this re-cast and re-laid it on the timberwork that we had re-built.

The Great Hall roof was Welsh slates, so again, we stripped the roof, sourced slates to make good shortages and re-roofed. The lead valley gutters also had to be stripped out and re-built including re-leading.
