Project Overview

Background

We were appointed by a private landlord to deliver a comprehensive roofing refurbishment and external fabric restoration at Froghall Lane, Warrington. Because this residential property holds a Grade II listed status, the entire scheme demanded specialist heritage asset management. All structural repairs, timber fabrications, and material installations had to follow strict local authority planning guidance, ensuring the building’s historical integrity was fully preserved while restoring its structural performance and weather tightness.

Operational Challenges

Working within strict heritage and planning constraints
Sourcing and replicating original materials and finishes
Delivering specialist craftsmanship for bespoke elements
Managing structural roofing repairs on an ageing building
Ensuring compliance with conservation guidelines

Scope of Works

Full roofing refurbishment and structural repairs
Replacement of fascias and soffits
Window replacements in line with heritage specifications
Bespoke timber fabrication to match original detailing
External repairs to restore building condition

Our Precision-Led Approach

To ensure consistent project delivery regardless of scope variation, we deploy a standardized, five-phase framework tailored to manage risk, maintain build quality, and ensure regulatory compliance from inception to handover. This careful and methodical approach allowed us to enhance structural performance without compromising historical authenticity.

Pre-Construction

Established site-specific safety controls, erected protective scaffolding to shield the listed building, and finalized all heritage planning permissions and material approvals prior to starting on-site.

Site Preparation

Carefully stripped back damaged, failing roofing materials and exposed the underlying timber framework without compromising the delicate, historic core structure of the building.

Main Works Execution

Executed extensive structural roof repairs and replaced failing external elements with hand-moulded, custom-manufactured timber fascias, soffits, and window sections designed to match the original profiles exactly.

Systems Integration & Testing

Integrated specialized heritage-grade underlays, flashing details, and weatherproofing layers, testing the entire roof and window network for absolute watertightness and thermal performance.

Quality Assurance & Handover

Conducted rigorous conservation-standard inspections to guarantee full compliance with listed building regulations, followed by a seamless handover back to the private landlord.

Project Outcome

The Froghall Lane restoration successfully preserved a vital piece of Warrington’s residential heritage while bringing the property up to modern weatherproofing standards. Working within the £160,000 budget, the project achieved full compliance with strict Grade II listed planning mandates without a single variance.

By combining traditional craftsmanship, we extended the lifecycle of the building fabric, protected the private landlord’s long-term asset value, and delivered a watertight, architecturally authentic finish.
