Wordsworth House, Cockermouth

John Strong, foreman mason based at our sister yard Bowe Barn in Keswick, had occasion recently to attend Wordsworth House to carry out roof repairs. 

Here we see John using a "cherry picker" to carry out the repairs to stop water ingress.

The chimney stack and ridge needed attention after which John used some lime wash on the gable end.

Permission from the local authority to close the road was also necessary.
