Contract Name: Lockwood House, Kennington Park Estate
Client: Hyde Housing Association
Value: £261,000
Works: Hyde Housing Roofing Framework Works
Our Roofing team undertook liquid waterproofing to the gutters and chimney stack repairs on this prominent South London residential property for Hyde Housing. Located next to the Oval cricket ground, which is surrounded architecturally impressive buildings, it was important that repairs were completed sensitively in order to ensure they blended in with the aesthetics of Lockwood House itself and the surrounding buildings.
The project was also delivered during the winter months, which was challenging. We had to monitor the weather carefully to ensure that we only installed the liquid waterproofing within the temperature parameters provided by the manufacturer. The results were well-received by both client and residents who provided us with 97.4% overall on satisfaction surveys. Keen to bring value to the residents beyond the improvement works, at the end of the contract we donated a wooden picnic bench for the residents to use in their communal garden area.
Contract Name: Pakington House, Stockwell
Client: Hyde Housing Association
Value: £432,000
Works: Hyde Housing Roofing Framework Works
Breyer Roofing was tasked with liquid waterproofing the gutters and replacing the Pitched Roof of Pakington House, a large London-based residential building. This sizeable block is located at the centre of the Stockwell Gardens Estate, which is a very built-up area. As a result, access for deliveries and skips was very tight during this contract, with parking also considerably limited. A children’s play area located in the centre, along with a community hub, made the area heavily pedestrianised too. With this in mind, the Site Manager had to carefully coordinate all large vehicles visiting the site to ensure the safety of all, which was made perhaps more challenging due to the level of crime in the surrounding area.
Despite these challenges, our Roofing team delivered the contract on time and with minimal impact to the residents. The success of our work was perhaps best evidenced by the huge 99.7% result on our resident satisfaction surveys.
Contract Name: Stonebridge School
Client: London Borough Of Brent
Value: £800,000
Works: Roofing, guttering and pipe works
Our Roofing team delivered a number of works for Brent-based Stonebridge Primary School. The existing Grade II Listed pitched roof to the main school was replaced, which included the replacement of several existing lead dormer tops and subsequent brick repairs or pointing to chimney stacks and gable walls. Specialist works were required to replace a copper dome with new copper and detailing and a number of other tasks were carried out including, guttering and timber fascia replacement; cast iron downpipe refurbishment; liquid coating application to various areas; tile repairs and lead work on a number of roof areas across the school.
Working on a live school posed a number of challenges, which were carefully navigated through strong communication and collaboration with school staff. To ensure minimal disruption to the school day, we booked deliveries around the school schedule and maintained strong relationships with teachers so that we knew when to keep noise to a minimum during tests or other quiet study time. We were also careful to ensure classrooms were vacated ahead of any roofing works and materials were not left in walkways. Perhaps our biggest challenge though came in the form of an adjacent new build project, which was responsible for closing the shared access road for about three months, causing delays and issues with deliveries and skip waste clearance. We worked around this to ensure the programme of works was still delivered to a high quality and with high client satisfaction. We also did a social value initiative with the children enabling them to paint tiles, which were then laid on the roof for future generations to find.
