Notre Dame de France Contract 

value : £230,000 Notre Dame Church owned by the French Embassy is a Catholic Church that we have completed two large new roof contracts for. 

​

We were introduced through a previous client and surveyed a large slate roof in Central London that had multiple areas of water ingress. Our team installed Tyvek breathable membrane with 180m2 of natural slates with bespoke lead welded dormers and box gutters. Father Pascal who is the head priest was very pleased with our workmanship and asked us to install a new flat roof above the main church hall. This is a circular shaped 600m2 overlay felt system with brand new bespoke lead outlets. The client approached DCRS to carry out a survey of the existing flat roof coverings which were leaking in numerous places. Upon inspection our roof survey discovered that the roof was perishing in many places and had come to the end of its life and required replacement. DCRS replaced the flat roof with EURO POLYMERS evolution charcoal overlay system. The installation was then assessed and was given a 20 year manafacturer backed warranty.

 

Challenges: The unique architecture in London, particularly in historic districts, means that many buildings require bespoke roofing solutions. The presence of tall buildings in central areas also increases the risk of wind and debris damage. Furthermore, older roofs may need significant repair to maintain the structural integrity of buildings, which can add complexity and cost.
