@ZigguratTen @jpwarchaeology Agreed, but still no need for a wonderful structure to have a felt/membrane placed under the product that will perform very well..... like as you said tin, but also clay tiles, slate & stone etc etc. Problem being professionals can’t be experts after reading a few books.

[Richard Jordan FIoR @JordanConserv]

@ZigguratTen @jpwarchaeology Yes.... saying that, what about all those that moan about cement pointing and the style in which it is pointed..... at least it’s been pointed!! applies to all crafts and buildings. Could have been re-roofed without felt, depending on the knowledge of those involved

A flash of orange 🍊

Do any buildings near you boast a beautiful pantile roof?

They're most commonly found in East Central Scotland, the Lothians and Fife! Originally, imported stock from Holland would've landed on the East coast.

We made a podcast! I loved getting the chance to chat about vernacular Irish buildings with my co-host Roisin & our lovely guests. Check it out & if you enjoy, please tell a friend🔊

@No1tingham The name on the Bridge, Oscrofts was a name I remember as a child on Castle Boulevard. It became Wass in the late 70’s I think.

#LovelyLychGates @BreconCathedral dates from 1900, now in need of reroofing, so will be more lovely soon, in collaboration with @rooftraining

A big thanks to the volunteers ⁦@Papplewick_PS⁩ for showing us their boiler house earlier today. A similar fireproof roof to that at our ⁦@SudburyGasworks⁩ project so great to see what it might look like when finished! ⁦@JBoonArchitects⁩ #conservation

[Richard Jordan FIoR @JordanConserv]

@andyheald @Dendrochronicle Probably survived due to the traditional details & materials. No BS… just #craftspeople with #craftskills who understood the location, materials & skills needed to make it last for years, probably longer than they would have imagined Today it’s manufacturers way or no warranty

[Richard Jordan FIoR @JordanConserv]

@HE_Midlands @LincsMuseum @HE_Archive Great place to visit.

[Richard Jordan FIoR @JordanConserv]

@mooreheritage @IHBCtweet Yes but the #craftspeople need to be have input into specs….. GP’s and Consultants vision craftspeople have a huge amount of knowledge so ask them to input in to specifications if that’s the way to go on projects. Remember #craftspeople with #craftskills
