Profile Industrial Roofing, a market leader in the provision of industrial and commercial roof refurbishment solutions, was selected by Leekes to undertake the refurbishment of the roof at its department store in Pontyclun, South Wales.
The project involved the safe removal of the existing asbestos sheeting, providing full documentation for the disposal of the asbestos sheets. Following that, we installed an insulated composite panel 150 mm core to achieve 0.13 U’Value (w/m2k) and applied 0.4 mm gauge outer weathering sheets with a plastisol coating membrane.
Factory-assembled triple skin rooflights FAIRS / GRP / Trilite Ultra 45 were fitted to increase natural daylight within the store. Additionally, new metal insulated gutter sections were laid into existing brackets to enhance water management.
Wall cladding was also applied to enhance the aesthetics of the main entrance. We installed a layer of 80 mm thick insulation to provide a `U` value of 0.25 w/mk, followed by the installation of a new 0.7 mm profile single-skin metal sheet with a side lap detail to enhance strength and rigidity.
One of the challenges we faced was the removal of the Georgian wire northern lights. Our experienced team successfully devised a solution that not only addressed the task at hand but also prioritised the safety of our team, as well as Leekes’ staff and customers.
Despite the ongoing construction works, meticulous planning and project execution enabled the store to remain open, ensuring uninterrupted service to Leekes’ customers.
“Profile Industrial Roofing’s performance ensured that it was business as usual for our visiting customers throughout the project, reflecting their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. The completed works exceeded our expectations and we are delighted with the final outcome.” Gareth Skeet, Group Buildings Manager, Leekes
