Our Role
Our ByrneLooby team of experts in London, advised on the structural alterations of the extensive repairs to the floor and roof timbers. The ancient roof timbers have been repaired and strengthened and the roof re-covered with the exceptionally heavy local stone tiles. The splendid east gable truss is now visible – and protected and secure – behind a great glass triangular window.
Since there is not space for separate bathrooms, each of the three bedrooms now has a “pod” formed in brightly coloured sheet metal, seated on the original timber floor structure. To prove the load capacity under the heaviest pod, the existing array of floor beams was strengthened and then subjected to load test.
