Introduction

The client required a full roofing upgrade to improve performance, extend the lifespan of the existing system, and address ongoing maintenance issues. Key concerns included deteriorating rooflights, ineffective drainage, and general weathering of the roof surface.

Overview

RMLFS delivered a structured refurbishment programme, carefully coordinating works to minimise disruption within a live retail environment. The project began with the safe removal and replacement of rooflights, improving both natural light levels and thermal performance. This was followed by a comprehensive gutter relining solution to resolve drainage issues and prevent future leaks.

Finally, a full roof coating system was applied, providing a seamless, weatherproof finish and significantly extending the lifespan of the existing roof.

Scope of Works

Challenges & Solutions

Operating above an active retail environment presented logistical and safety challenges, particularly around customer and staff movement. Our team implemented a detailed phasing plan to minimise disruption, with all works coordinated during quieter trading hours where possible.

In addition, the presence of extensive rooftop ducting required a flexible approach seamlessly integrating liquid and felt systems to deliver a consistent, manufacturer-approved waterproof finish across all areas.
