City Councillors have given their support for a replacement and upgrade of the damaged roof at Salisbury Crematorium.
On Monday, June 24th, Salisbury City Council approved using up to £175k of capital funds to replace the failing roof covering the administrative and support areas of the building. The cost of the works will be met from some of the £338k capital receipt received from the sale of 47 Blue Boar Row.
Salisbury City Council’s architect proposes replacing the existing mineral-felt roof with a more durable material, Alwitra Evalon VSK Membrane. This material has an expected service life of 40 years, compared to mineral-felt’s lifespan of 10-15 years.
To carry out these works, the customer-facing side of the Crematorium will need to be closed in August and September. Details on the closure dates will be published as soon as possible.
During this time, no services will take place on-site. However, cremators will still be operational.
Services will instead be held at the Guildhall on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Tuesdays are to be excluded because it is unsafe and difficult to safely and easily access the site on Market Day.
