Originally, we had planned to build a bird cage scaffold inside the unit, to allow the client to continue to operate below, but it was agreed that it would be safer to close off the whole site for our use only, especially while stripping the asbestos roof.

With a lot of materials and hazardous waste skips in a small car park, access was tight and manoeuvring the telehandler was difficult at times.

A brand new roof, allowing a great deal of additional light into the unit with the bright white liners and new rooflights.

All asbestos removal works carried out safely, with all areas of the building deep cleaned and all waste taken from site by licensed contractors for safe disposal.

The client able to move back in and continue operation as soon as the unit was cleaned after works.
