Persistent roof leaks had damaged insulation, ceilings and electrics in both apartments and communal areas, requiring a full roof replacement and internal refurbishments within a tight five-week programme.<br \/>\n<br class=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Scope of Work<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Full demolition and removal of the failed roof build-up<\/li>\n<li>Installation of new SIKA waterproofing system with insulation and double moisture-proof layer<\/li>\n<li>Electrical testing, rewiring of affected apartments and installation of new consumer units<\/li>\n<li>Installation of new LED lighting to apartments and communal areas<\/li>\n<li>Replacement, plastering and redecoration of damaged ceilings and corridor areas<\/li>\n<li>Supply and installation of new sash windows<\/li>\n<li>Replacement of damaged timber doors and architraves<\/li>\n<li>Installation of new kitchens in affected apartments following redecoration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Challenges &amp; Solutions<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Severely deteriorated roof fabric \u2013 Rebuilt the roof using a SIKA waterproofing system with improved insulation and double moisture barrier to provide a long-term, robust solution.<\/li>\n<li>Safety risks from water ingress and electrical failures \u2013 Combined roof replacement with targeted rewiring, new consumer units and lighting to restore safe, compliant electrical systems.<\/li>\n<li>Tight five-week programme in an occupied block \u2013 Deployed a coordinated team of roofers, electricians, plasterers and decorators to run tasks in parallel, minimising disruption and finishing ahead of schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Final Outcome<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The project was completed four days ahead of programme and under budget, allowing residents to return home sooner than expected.
