Your Roof – Sieve repairs No 2
Well it certainly lived up to its name when the archdeacon was trying to speak, the leak was down to damage of tiles while removing high level scaffolding. Otherwise known as a large hole. Now temporarily repaired.
All metal drainage work has been ordered and fitted to the high level. This was delayed slightly due to wrong type being ordered.
Investigations have taken place now that the roof scaffolding is in place which identified some pointing was needed around high level windows and a variation was agreed to repoint. Investigation into roof woodwork took place and no issues were found so work can proceed as planned.
Work has started on roof removal on the south side. Project timeline is being escalated.
The scaffolding is going up on the North side of the Church. Commenced 19/03. This is to enable a second team of roofers to start, both sides will be managed by Alfie and the foreman Rob Mitchell. This will enable us to achieve the final date for final completion and billing being 30th June.
A discussion was held regarding the tiles. It was originally planned to recycle 50% of the old tiles and 50% new. However, when the investigation of the woodwork took place it was identified that some sealant had been used and as a result there are no reusable tiles. We were given two options 1. To go for all new tiles or 2. To use reclaimed. We chose the reclaimed as all new was to prohibitive in costs. Reclaimed will still require us to use some of the contingency funding.
The next major milestones
Strip down of the south roof. To start 21/03 onwards
Scaffolding on the North side to start. Started 19/03
A meeting was held with Pinnacle on 18/03 following complaint raised regarding poor workmanship and the large water leak in church following High Level scaffolding removal. Issues were discussed and apologies were given, it was agreed that it should not have happened. Discussion over damage was discussed and would be discussed further when more access available to assess damage. It was also agreed that more supervision would be given to site to avoid such a re-occurrence of problem……Phill
