Buchanan House, Residential Roofing Wandsworth
Project Overview
Maguire Brothers recently completed a successful re-roofing project for a residential block of flats in Southfields. The works involved replacing the existing coverings with terracotta-coloured pantiles. These new tiles were carefully selected to deliver a high-quality finish that complements the surrounding architecture.
As part of the refurbishment, the building’s thermal efficiency was significantly improved with the installation of new loft roll insulation. This enhancement ensures compliance with modern building regulations while boosting energy performance for residents.
The Challenge
A major challenge for this project was the limited on-site space for storing materials, skips, and welfare facilities. To address this, a split-delivery strategy was employed, allowing materials to arrive in smaller, more frequent batches. This approach ensured steady progress while minimising disruption to residents.
In addition, the removal of the old roof coverings had to be carefully synchronised with the installation of new breather felt and battens to prevent water ingress. Maintaining safety for both residents and workers was paramount, requiring strict adherence to health and safety protocols throughout the works.
The Solution
Our team removed the old roof tiles and installed the new breather felt and battens swiftly to protect the property from potential weather damage. Through detailed planning and effective communication with residents and building management, the project was executed with minimal disruption.
By maintaining rigorous safety standards and addressing logistical challenges head-on, Maguire Brothers ensured a seamless transition from the old roof coverings to the new, high-quality roofing system.
The Outcome
The newly refurbished roof has revitalised the property, offering both enhanced functionality and a visually appealing finish. The terracotta-coloured concrete pantiles blend seamlessly with the architectural style of the surrounding area, while the upgraded insulation provides long-lasting energy efficiency for residents.
The project was completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of both the client and residents, further reinforcing Maguire Brothers’ reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality residential roofing solutions.
