Roof restoration works continue at historic hall
Heywood and Middleton Guardian
|June 12, 2025
WORK to restore Middleton's historic Hopwood Hall has taken another step forward, with another phase of major works to the building’s roof now under way.
-
A building conservation specialist has been awarded the contract to deliver the work, which will involve painstakingly repairing and restoring the council-owned building’s decaying roof.
The works will bring almost half a million pounds worth of investment into the building, with the council and Historic England jointly funding the £466,000 project.
Oldham-based Maysand will be taking care to ensure the roof is returned to its original appearance, to ensure the valuable heritage of the grade II listed building is protected.
In addition, the firm will be carrying out painstaking restoration to the leaded windows, alongside crucial works to downpipes and gutters to ensure the historic asset is fully watertight.
