IBIS Roofing are proud to be associated with the recent and ongoing works over at Hopwood Hall in Middleton, near Manchester.

The Hall had all of it’s lead stolen by thieves and IBIS has been involved with replacing the lead waterproofing with temporary GRP waterproofing, which is effective in terms of keeping the water out and also does not have any re-sale value.

What is at stake is one of the most important  Hall’s in the North West of England. It was originally built in the C15th and extended over the subsequent centuries.

IBIS has been involved at all stages of consulation. We provided a conservation plan which mitigated any problems with our interaction with the building. Scaffolding was designed not to interfere with the historic fabric or cause undue damage etc.

IBIS also helped prioritise which areas needed attention first to save the maximum amount of historic fabric.

The result is that the core historic fabric of the Hall is now stable and ready for further conservation by specialists.
