Project 1
Dame Mary Archer was very happy with Restore A Roof when we cleaned the roof of 'the old vicarage in Granchester'. Imortalised by the poet Rupert Brooke in his poem of the same name, Dame Mary had a problem with moss lifting her rosemary tiles on her listed building. After consulting with her gardener, who did not want any damage, the various plants and creeping ivys attached to the walls and roof. We stopped the moss returning by waterproofing the tiles. We cleaned the roof, removing the moss and algae. We then replaced the broken tiles from our tile bank. We had tea with with a Dame Mary who recieved her damehood in June 2012 for her services to the NHS.
