CLIENT: National trust of scotland

We were engaged to carry out essential roof maintenance across a portfolio of tenanted properties managed by the National Trust for Scotland.

The works focused on preserving the integrity of historic buildings while ensuring tenant safety and comfort.

scope of works

  • Cleaning rainwater goods to maintain effective drainage and prevent water damage.
  • Replacing damaged slates and tiles to restore weatherproofing and aesthetics.
  • Conducting detailed condition reports to identify future maintenance needs and ensure compliance with heritage standards.

Challenges And solutions: 

  • High Foot Traffic: Many properties were located in busy heritage villages like Culross, attracting large numbers of visitors daily. We implemented strict safety measures, to protect pedestrians.
  • Proximity to Roads: Some properties were adjacent to active roads, requiring traffic management systems to safeguard workers and the public.
  • Access Coordination: Close collaboration with National Trust staff ensured smooth access to properties without disrupting tenants or visitor operations.

Outcome:

The maintenance program was completed efficiently and safely, preserving the historic character of the properties while minimizing disruption to tenants and the public.
