While working on the adjoining Armoury, Avey & Son were asked by South Staffordshire Council to restore the roof of this old property, with the job to be done in a way sensitive to the needs of the occupier, who had lived for 90 years in the property, which dates from the 1500s. The occupier stayed on site while Avey & Son delivered the work to the local authority’s standards and kept the elderly gentleman occupier happy and dry.
