Crowngate Apartments with Sealoflex and Cambrian

There were pitched roof areas and internal flat roofs to strip and re-cover, and access to these roofs was either from the main roofs at high level or through the building at lower level. This made it difficult moving materials logistically. Two of the internal roofs had new box gutters built to overcome previous problems with blockages and flooding. This was achieved by installing a tapered insulation scheme.

The neighbouring building was privately owned and access was not permitted, so the scaffolding was designed to span over the apartments. The building also had an old window cleaning cradle lift fitted to enable access to the windows of the internal elevations above the low level flat roofs. With the added thickness of the new insulation fitted there was insufficient height between the top of the insulation and the bottom of the rig to form a conventional upstand at the base of each of the steel support posts.

Progress and standards were inspected on a weekly basis by a contracts manager and the site manager sent daily progress reports including photographs to the contracts managers. These reports were a vital source of information that enabled the team to monitor progress and manage material deliveries and ensure performance exceeded client expectations.
Excellent standards of workmanship were delivered by Hodgson Sayers’ pitched and flat roofing installers throughout the project.
