Maguire
Brothers has recently completed the £300,000
first phase of a prestigious re-roofing
contract at Stag Hill Court on campus at
the University of Surrey, Guildford.
Comprising 10 student houses this re-roofing
phase of the 1960’s award-winning scheme
was characterised by complex inter-connecting
roofs of slate and zinc and winding ‘streets’
on a sloping site. The contract period was
a challenging 10 weeks during the Summer
recess.
Rory Maguire, partner of Maguire’s
Brothers commented, “The project was
very exacting because with no loft spaces
available all insulation to achieve new thermal
regulations had to be placed between and
over existing structure and all work had
to be sympathetic with the original design.
Access to and within the Court was difficult
and the work had to be completed within the
Summer Recess – we love a challenge
!”
