Skyler was appointed by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to deliver a comprehensive roofing refurbishment programme across multiple buildings within the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground estate.

With several roof areas reaching the end of their operational lifespan, the project required a full strip-out of the existing systems and the installation of high-performance replacement solutions.

Skyler implemented a built up felt and tapered insulation scheme design to improve drainage, enhance thermal efficiency, and extend long-term durability.

This programme not only addressed critical maintenance requirements but also delivered a future-proofed roofing solution aligned with the client’s performance and sustainability objectives.

Works were completed ensuring minimal disruption within a live, world-class sporting venue.
