What the buyer says
The works comprise the refurbishment and renewal of the existing roof coverings and associated roofline elements at The Sleights, Westonbirt Arboretum, together with the associated garage flat roof improvements and the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The objective is to provide safe, weatherproof, durable and maintainable assets that support the long-term use of the property. The works address the deterioration of the existing pitched and flat roof coverings, improve the performance and lifespan of the roof structures, reduce future maintenance requirements, and contribute to the site's sustainability objectives through the generation of renewable energy. The works includes the replacement of roof coverings, rainwater goods, fascias, soffits, barge boards and associated components, together with any necessary repairs to roof substrates identified during the works. The works also include the refurbishment, repair or renewal of garage flat roof coverings and associated details, and the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of roof-mounted solar PV systems, including all associated electrical and structural works required for a fully operational installation.
