Hospitals, health centres, clinics and care homes stay open while their roofs are replaced. We work to the trust permit systems, keep plant and services running, and use cold applied and low odour systems so wards and consulting rooms underneath are not disturbed.
NHS estates run on permits to work, infection control and plant that cannot be switched off. Our contracts managers work within those systems, plan the roof around the theatre schedule and the plant room, and keep the estates team informed weekly.
Cold applied liquid and single ply systems remove naked flames from the roof and keep solvent odour out of the air handling. Where a hot applied system is the right specification, it is planned with the estates team and the fire officer.
Healthcare roofs are crowded with plant, ductwork and services. Liquid applied membranes encapsulate every penetration seamlessly, plant is lifted or worked around under a method statement, and mansafe lines are installed so the roof can be maintained safely afterwards.
Constructionline Gold, CHAS, SafeContractor and Achilles accreditation, full employers and public liability insurance, and full CPP and RAMS for every project, so pre-qualification is straightforward.
Yes. We work within the trust permit to work system, coordinate with estates and infection control, and phase the roof so the areas below are never exposed. Cold applied systems keep hot works and odour off the site.
By surveying it first. Plant is worked around, lifted on temporary supports or, where it is being replaced anyway, coordinated with the M&E contractor. Every penetration is detailed and encapsulated.
We hold Constructionline Gold, CHAS, SafeContractor, Achilles and NFRC membership and are fully insured for all aspects of roofing work, with certificates available on request.
Yes. Permanent fall arrest lines are designed and installed as part of the roofing contract so the estates team can access the roof safely for maintenance.
Yes. Multi-site surveys with a prioritised programme and budget costs are a normal starting point for healthcare estates.
A free survey, a written report and budget costs, from whichever office is closer to the building.
