Case studies

  • Belmont Park Mansion House, Australia

    The historic Belmont Park Mansion House in North Richmond, New South Wales was acquired in the late 19th century by Philip Charley, who demolished the original house and built the Italianate sandstone mansion that is still proudly standing.  Today it is one of Australia’s most renowned private psychiatric hospitals. 

    Architectural Leadwork Pty Ltd are specialists in heritage restorations, and have a reputation for quality lead work in and around the Sydney area. They were appointed to renovate the roof area of this magnificent building, including the installation of lead sheet in batten rolls to the veranda roof area of the main house. Midland Lead supplied 14 tonnes of lead sheet for the roof, all bossed and shaped using traditional lead skills and finished with Midland Lead patination oil. Cover flashings were 25kg code 5 recessed into the wall, and finished with elastomeric joint. 

    It gives Team Midland Lead great pleasure to see our lead used by master tradespeople with a passion for the preservation of such historic heritage buildings.
