Welsh Slate
Cemetery lodge
A derelict Grade II listed cemetery lodge in West Yorkshire is being repurposed with the help of a multi-patterned Welsh Slate roof. The original Welsh slates, which had been on the roof since it was built — some 165 years ago — required replacing like-for-like, and so some 850 of Welsh Slate’s Penrhyn Heather Blues now adorn the gothic-style building.
To match the originals, they were cut into five different shapes by two experienced craftsmen from Welsh Slate distributor and natural roofing slate specialists Yates & Company using a portable slate guillotine in its yard at Clitheroe, Lancashire.

BMI UK & IRELAND
Simpsons Lane Academy
Cost-effective and guaranteed for 20 years, the bespoke solution devised by BMI UK & Ireland and contractor Watershed Roofing gave a Yorkshire primary school roof a new lease of life and solved its ponding problems.
Working on behalf of Delta Academies Trust, surveyors David Yeadon called in Watershed Roofing to inspect the roof at Simpsons Lane Academy in Knottingley, West Yorkshire. The refurbishment included utilisation of the existing system as the substrate, with the subsequent application of the BMI Thermaweld FireSmart warm roof system, incorporating a new cut-to-falls insulation scheme.
