Case Studies

Set in the heart of Manchester, Chorlton Health Centre provides a valuable service to the local community. In order to deliver the highest levels of care and support, it's important the building remained fit for purpose, making its upkeep vital. When water ingress indicated problems with the performance of the existing roof, which spans across eight separate areas, a full roof refurbishment was undertaken. This unlocked the potential to underpin long-term performance alongside making a positive impact on the environment.

Noxite is a smart, sustainable bitumen flat roof waterproofing membrane that removes harmful airborne pollutants and provides a cleaner, healthier environment around the building.

Having carried out Phase 2 of the flat roofing works the year before, we successfully won the tender for Phase 3 the following year. The project consisted of stripping two roof areas of the existing waterproofing system to the structural deck. Installing the new Bauder K4E waterproofing system, with thermal upgrade meeting current building regulations. The project also consisted of stripping out the existing dilapidated timber windows and replacing them with new UPVC. New roof lights, UPVC fascia and guttering also installed under scope of the project. The majority of this project was carried out during term time and we successfully worked with the school to deliver this project for them, whilst maintaining the normal safe operations of the school, both for staff and the children.

Stripping three roof areas of existing waterproofing system down to the plywood deck and installing the new IKO Goldseal Guardian felt waterproofing system. The project also consisted of removing and replacing all fragile roof lights as identified by the client and installing new Superlite Modular roof lights and making good to the interior. New rainwater outlets and lead chutes installed, with the roofing perimeter being finished with a black GRP trim. This project was carried out during term time and we worked closely with the school to successfully deliver this project without any disruption to the safe day to day operations of the school.

This project was a full external envelope upgrade. We carried out the flat roofing works, stripping 3 roof areas (with various levels within them) of the existing waterproofing system and installing the Bauder K5K waterproofing system with a thermal upgraded tapered insulation system. In addition to this, we carried out the following in conjunction with the roof refurbishment:

This project consisted of stripping eleven roof areas down to the existing deck. Install the new Garland StressPly Flex Plus waterproofing system, with thermal upgrade tapered insulation system, removing and installing new roof lights, UPVC Windows, Structural Glazed Rooflight & Trespa Cladding. Again the majority of these works were carried out during term time due to the length of the project, not only this but a second contractor was on site carrying out some demolition and new build works. However, we worked successfully with both to ensure the project was safely carried whilst ensuring the normal operations of the school were not affected.

The project was an overlay (stripping the details) and installing IKO's Ultra Prevent Guardian felt system, with no thermal upgrade. Further to this we removed the existing roof lights and replaced them with new modular UPVC. The windows were in need of replacing, however, due to project circumstance this wasn't viable so we worked with the client to come up with a more suitable option. In the end, we cleaned, prepped and painted the existing windows and then installed a twin poly carbonate sheet to the face of the windows to give them a refreshed and new look.

The project consisted of stripping the existing waterproofing down to the mastic asphalt and installing Garlands Stressply Signature waterproofing system with thermal upgrade. The interesting aspect of this project was the bespoke roof light replacement. The existing poly carbonate canopy/roof light was to be removed, a new bespoke timber kerb built around the perimeter of the area to take the newly designed polycarbonate roof light.
