Challenge: Price & Buckland Ltd, a school clothing company, faced multiple roof leaks in its warehouse, restricting storage and dispatch operations. The company appointed Innes England to assess the roof’s condition and deliver a roof refurbishment Hucknall project. The works would provide a long-term solution and allow full use of the warehouse.
The Solution
To address these issues, Innes England’s Building Consultancy team provided expert guidance throughout the project.
- Roofing condition survey: We conducted an extensive survey of the existing roof, evaluating repair options and providing recommendations with budget costs.
- Tender procurement: Following the survey, the team managed the tendering process to select the appropriate contractors for the over-cladding work, ensuring quality and value.
- Project management: Once appointed, we collaborated with Norwest Industrial Roofing Ltd to oversee the over-cladding project, ensuring a smooth execution and adherence to timelines.
Summary of works:
To ensure a durable and cost-effective refurbishment, the project included:
- Erection of scaffold edge protection and access systems
- Hoisting materials to roof level using suitable plant
- Installation of a spacer system
- Over-sheeting with 0.7mm plastisol-coated roof sheets, including 150mm Factory clad 40 insulation
- Installation of periphery flashings to ridge, eaves, and verge
- Removal of redundant roof penetrations
- Cleaning, preparation, and installation of new Plygene gutter linings
- Installation of new PVC rainwater pipes and flushing of rainwater goods
- Final site clean-up and removal of storage and welfare provisions
The Results
Following completion, the refurbishment delivered several benefits for the client:
