    Contractors have started to undertake major roof repairs at the Grade II listed St George's Hall in Bradford as the next step in its £8.5m refurbishment.

    Bradford Council said that they had to comply with Historic England and the Conservation Team’s requirements as well as the listed status of the building and therefore have to reuse as much of the original materials as possible.

    The entire roof will be removed and individual tiles will be checked to see if they need replacing, with only those tiles that are damaged being replaced.

    The removal of the roof is being carried out by contractors who previously worked on the recently revamped Piece Hall in Halifax.
