Award-winning project completed in the face of testing weather

The winner of this year’s Murdoch Sponsors Award was M Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors Ltd for a private residence in Southern England. Once again Marchant worked with architect Charles Knowles Design Ltd, with whom they have had past success in the Murdoch Awards, and the main contractor was Pilbeam Construction.

For the winning project they used Code 6 milled lead. The project was carried out over a very cold and wet October last year – the bad weather making the job last the whole month.

M Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors Ltd is a family-run company of professional roofing and leadwork specialists with over 35 years’ experience. They can take on any job, from a small repair to full re-roof. They offer the high standards of craftsmanship demanded by the Lead Contractors Association at prices that are extremely competitive.

Trusted across the South of England, they are known for dependable lead roofing solutions tailored to heritage buildings, refurbishments and new developments alike. Clients return not only for their craftsmanship but also because they do what they say they will: safely, on time and to spec.

Director Mac Marchant said: “Whether working on listed buildings or commercial projects, our team understands the importance of precision and compliance across all leadwork applications.”

As well as general leadwork, the main areas covered by the company include dormers, flashings, flat roofs, lead cladding, chimney flashings, lead fire walls and minor roofing works. They can supply and fix both milled lead sheet to BS1178 and traditional sand-cast lead sheet to meet any contract specifications.
