Benefit from our 45+ years of hospital roofing experience.
A hospital roof may seem to some like any other roof – but in reality, repairing or replacing the roof for a hospital entails several unique considerations that do not typically come into play with other types of commercial roofing. The roofing systems of hospitals are intricately designed, accommodating a variety of facilities such as operating theaters, critical life-support infrastructure, helipads, specialised data and communication centers. When undertaking a hospital roofing project, the diverse needs and functionalities need to be considered.
In order to make sure that work on the roof will not interfere with hospital operations, it is essential that the roofing company works with hospital leadership to coordinate their efforts in advance. Over the years we at Maguire Brothers have developed systems and processes that are designed to help us overcome any challenges. This enables us to deliver comprehensive planning and coordination with hospital officials to ensure successful hospital roofing projects.
WHY PARTNER WITH US?
FEATURED CASE STUDY
London Wing, Croydon University Hopstial
This hospital roofing project, carried out for an NHS facility in Croydon, South London, formed part of our ongoing partnership supporting NHS Trusts with specialist roofing solutions.
Set directly above operating theatres and critical services, the site presented unique challenges. It demanded close collaboration with the Trust to ensure patient care and hospital functions continued uninterrupted throughout the works.
The existing roof coverings were removed, insulation was upgraded to surpass current building regulations, and drainage was enhanced with new channels and box gutters. A robust two-layer felt roofing system was then installed, offering a 25-year guarantee.
