Project Profiles

The warehouse survey identified the areas under the roof that required Asbestos Insulating Board removal. The warehouse is an ATEX-rated area due to the alcohol content of the whisky barrels, which are racked in sections to reach their level of maturity. We outline the process of working in a potentially combustible area and ensuring the safety of the product and operatives working below.

Discover how Starfish Construction created watertight warehouse roofs through a comprehensive roofing upgrade project. From enhancing the roof sheets and gutters to improving fall protection systems, we look at the meticulous planning and execution that ensures water resistance, safety, and longevity. Explore our case study for insights into innovative solutions and multi-divisional collaboration in overcoming structural and safety challenges.

Radmat worked with Starfish Construction, carrying out a condensation risk analysis and designing a cut-to-fall system that was fit for purpose, meeting the necessary U-values to comply with building regulations.

After our moisture scanning process confirmed this roof had failed, the entire roof was stripped back to deck and replaced with a high-performance quality felt system. Redundant chimneys and debris were safely removed, and a new handrail and access system was designed for all roof areas.

As one of the UK’s leading industrial build and refurbishment companies, Starfish Construction was the clear choice for Rapleys for a roof replacement at Evans Halshaw’s Gateshead Body Shop.
