Permanite Asphalt was incorporated in 1989 and latterly known as Ruberoid and part of the IKO Group. The company was dissolved on 2 September 2016 according to Companies House. Their business in Matlock was the manufacture of asphalt products such as roofing sheets, involving the mixing of aggregate, bitumen and sand. Powdered limestone – which is still prevalent like a thick dust throughout the main tower – was mixed with hot bitumen emulsion and poured into moulds before being left to cool.

The site was regulated by Derbyshire Dales District Council on the following conditions:

The heating of tar or bitumen is regulated under section 6.3 of the Environmental Permitting Regulations.

The following activities are regulated as Part B processes:

Heating, but not distilling, of tar or bitumen in connection with any manufacturing activity, or oxidising bitumen by blowing air through it, at plant where no other activities described in any Section in this Schedule are carried on. The undertaking of the activity must be likely to involve the use in any 12-month period of 5 or more tonnes of tar or bitumen or both in aggregate.



I can’t reconcile the dates on this one as the buildings are clearly of a much older construction than 1989, though this was part of the larger Cawdor Quarry complex. Other reports suggest the factory closed sometime around 2009 but otherwise information is scant. Impending demolition to facilitate a housing development is facing some local hostility.

I quite enjoyed this and there’s enough to see if you’re in the area. Nothing to see in the smashed up ground level prefabs so straight to the main factory buildings with the pictures...
