The entire fort roof has been jet washed, sealed and coated in a solar reflective resin during the month, this protects the bitumen coating below and stops it melting in the sun/heat. This has been done in the past but only has a life of about 5-6 years so was due a recoat to keep the fort waterproof. This will protect the restoration done in rooms below and allow us to continue restoration as areas that had not previously been coated have now been done. Roof materials were paid for by a much appreciated grant from Charles Burnett 111
During the month also we have started work on converting a room to an accessible toilet room for all abilities, drainage has gone in and lime washing has started (everyone’s favourite job not) this thanks to grant by Veolia
