Project Overview

Milletts of Keswick required the renewal of the existing flat roof to the rear of their retail store. The roof had reached the end of its serviceable life and was suffering from water ingress, posing a risk to the building fabric and internal retail areas. The objective was to deliver a durable, weather-resistant roofing solution with minimal disruption to store operations.

Scope of Works

Challenges

The works took place in a live retail environment, requiring careful programming to minimise disruption to both staff and customers. Restricted access to the rear roof location meant that material handling and waste removal had to be meticulously planned, while Keswick’s variable weather conditions demanded close monitoring and a flexible schedule to ensure the installation was completed to the required quality standards.

Solution

A modern, high-performance flat roofing system was selected to provide long-term durability and improved weather resistance. The installation was phased to maintain watertightness throughout the project. Close coordination with store management ensured safe access routes and uninterrupted trading during working hours.

Results

Client Benefit

The new flat roof provides Milletts with a long-term, low-maintenance solution, extending the life of the building and protecting the retail environment. The project was delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard of workmanship.
