John Brash CASE STUDY Bridlington Batten – exposed location by the sea
A domestic re-roof in an exposed coastal location.
This plain tile roof project in Bridlington was far from a simple project as the exposed coastal location also made the selection of materials really important.
The house was built in 1915, and although it’s not listed, it is located within a conservation area.
Work on the house included building into the roof and adding a number of roof windows.
Previously a domestic re-roof would fall outside of building regulations, but as this project was both a complete re roof and building into the roof the work fell under the requirements of building regulations.
