Roof Replacement and Conservation Works at St. Michael's Theatre, New Ross

This opportunity involves comprehensive roof replacement and conservation works at St. Michael's Theatre, a protected historic structure located on South Street in New Ross, County Wexford. The project scope includes: removal and safe disposal of asbestos-containing roof sheeting; replacement of defective roof timbers as required; installation of new ETERNIT FARMTEC Profile 6 fibre cement corrugated roof sheeting with associated ridge details, eaves details, and rainwater goods; and localised repairs to original plaster and lath features in the auditorium. All works must be executed in strict accordance with the Architect's drawings and must comply with protected structure regulations (RPS No. NR0125, NIAH Ref. 15605062). The project prioritises the retention and conservation of historic building fabric wherever practicable. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in heritage building conservation, asbestos removal, and the installation of compatible roofing materials on protected structures. The works aim to eliminate roof leaks, safely remove hazardous materials, complete necessary structural repairs, and preserve the building's historical integrity for future generations.
