Founder Philip Edwards has nearly 30 years in slate and copper roofing, trained on the tools, not in a classroom. He studied the old roofs, learned their logic, and built a system worthy of them. That system is the HRC Roof™.
in slate and copper roofing, trained on the tools.
Association of Master Roofers, and a member of its Heritage & Craft committee.
Judging roofing craft entries from across the UK and Ireland.
Appointed to survey a historic building and produce a formal condition report.
Over the past year we’ve built a strong team at HRC, with specialist metalwork led by Daniel Ennis and four apprentices learning the trade on site.
We’ve welcomed students through the All-Ireland Heritage Skills Programme, supported by the Heritage Council, architecture students from Bordeaux studying traditional Irish roofing methods, and a journeyman carpenter from the Netherlands.
Passing these skills to the next generation is a big part of what we do.
We carry out conservation work under Dublin City Council’s Built Heritage Investment Scheme.
