Project Details:- The priority on this contract was to erect a temporary roof to maintain the fabric of the building.

Some sections of the roof structure had to be rebuilt but the majority which was Oak and heavily charred, although  structurally sound, was retained. All these roof members were sand blasted to remove about 2/34mm of charring so that much of the original structure could be saved.

In some instances repairs had to be carried out to the king post trusses which were suffering from historic deterioration exacerbated by the fire damage.
