Site Setup & Management

A full site compound was established to support the works, including designated welfare facilities, material storage areas, and controlled access points. A telehandler and qualified driver were in constant attendance to manage the safe and efficient movement of materials to roof level, significantly improving productivity and reducing manual handling risks.

A dedicated site manager was present on site daily to coordinate labour, manage health and safety compliance, and liaise with hotel management. The project manager carried out frequent site visits, attending a minimum of three times per week, ensuring programme adherence, quality control, and clear communication with all stakeholders throughout the duration of the works.

Scope of Works

The existing Cambrian slate roof covering was fully stripped across all main roof areas
A new breathable roofing system was installed, including a high-performance membrane and treated timber battens
New Tapco slates were installed in full compliance with manufacturer guidelines
Tiled air vents were installed above every guest room to improve roof ventilation and reduce condensation risk
Upper roof bays were stripped back and refurbished with a new breathable membrane and cladding
Integrated insect mesh was installed to allow airflow while preventing pest ingress

Challenges & Solutions

The project was carried out within a live hotel environment, requiring careful phasing and sequencing to minimise disruption to guests and daily operations. Works were planned to maintain full weather protection at all times, with exposed areas kept to a minimum and closely monitored during periods of adverse weather.
