Velocity: roof refurbishment works – complete
The roof refurbishment works at Velocity UK in Sunderland are now complete. The 8-week program of works included 1500m² of industrial over sheeting as well as a thermal upgrade, all while the building remained operational.
Following the completion of a roof condition survey, it became apparent the existing roof waterproofing system at Velocity UK had come to the end of its serviceable life, was not offering suitable protection to the building, and, as such, was in need of a full refurbishment. A subsequent roof condition report and roof refurbishment specification were provided to allow Velocity UK to make an informed decision on how they would like to refurbish their roof.
Due to the condition of the existing roof waterproofing system, the decision was made to oversheet the roof with a Firth Steels plastisol-coated single sheet utilising an Ashgrid Roof Spacer System. Velocity UK also opted for new roof lights and a thermal insulation upgrade alongside their new roof waterproofing system.
The new waterproofing system is now guaranteed and certified, giving Velocity UK peace of mind for many years to come.
