Lincoln-based Lindum Group is replacing the roof of Peterborough’s Cresset building in a £3.5m project that’s expected to run until March next year.
Most of the ageing flat roof will make way for a new pitched standing seam structure, along with reroofing several of the remaining flat roofs while also improving the building’s drainage system.
The work is part of a £5.1m project to secure the long-term future of The Cresset Building, which was made possible by a grant from the Youth Investment Fund.
Lindum Group MD Darren King said: “The work we are doing will improve the fabric of the building, but it will also uplift and update its appearance too. It’s quite a significant project and will involve replacing some existing flat roofs with pitched, resurfacing others and re-routing and replacing old drainage channels throughout the building.
“The Cresset is only six miles from our offices in Newark Road and its work has been enjoyed by our employees for many years. We are really pleased we can help ensure it remains part of the community for years to come.”
