Your Roof – Sieve repairs No 4As of Thursday 25th April, when a site meeting was held with the Alfie Spencer from the main contractors Pinnacle, Carl Andrews our architect and Jess Rudman and Phill Kicks representing St John’s. I am happy to present what will be my penultimate report on the Roof project, yes that is correct my Penultimate report. As of Friday the 26th April the tiling on the South Roof will be complete. There will be another 10 days of Lead dressing and decoration, South roof completion by the middle of May. Removal of scaffolding starts 20th May. As of Monday 29th April there will be no tilers working on the North Roof due to the installation on water valleys on the Porch and Organ Loft roofs which has to be completed before any more tiling can be done, this has proved fortuitous because they have had to order additional which will not arrive until week commencing 6th May. The North side roof should have the tiling completed by the 13th May, Lead dressing and decoration by the 24th and Start to drop the scaffold by week commencing 27th. Please be aware that the dates are indicative and may vary depending on supplies and weather. Review of the budget was undertaken, issues discussed, all were happy with progress. Project timeline is being escalated further to ensure completion on time. Cross and capping will be the last Job. The next major milestones South Roof completion 17th May. North Roof Completion 24th May Scaffolding removal and Clear site 20th May to 7th June. Capital project closure 30th June.
