Trafford Hall

A defective lead flashing had allowed water to ingress the listed building causing substantial rot to an exposed roof truss tie beam. Due to the building’s historic importance, a low disturbance solution was applied.

Scope of Works

• Installation of temporary propping system
• Expose the end of the beam to give access to work
• Cut back the rotten section of beam
• Drill and set stainless steel bars into sound timber to form a temporary shutter
• Cast new beam end in epoxy mortar
• Remove shutter, propping and made good disturbed areas prior to redecoration
