Lead Work and RWP:
The installation of traditional cast iron RWP added to the heritage aspect of the project.
Testimonial
“D.M. Roofing were recruited to reroof a large, end-of-terrace Grade A listed townhouse and an adjacent mews house in the Park district of Glasgow. The existing roof had deteriorated over decades of neglect in a very exposed location. The work included complex features such as a pavilion, dormers, mansard windows, flat roof areas, stone chimney stacks, and a cupola light well. They executed their work in stripping, felting, slating, and much new lead work timeously, working closely with the main contractor to renew rotten timbers, etc., and the quality of their finish is impeccable. I am very happy with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”

Outcome
The reroofing of the Park Terrace properties successfully restored the historic integrity and functionality of these iconic buildings. DM Roofing’s meticulous work and attention to detail have preserved the architectural heritage of the townhouses while providing durable and aesthetically pleasing results.
