Church & Conference Centre, Roofing in Eastbourne
Project Overview
We were contracted to undertake roofing and energy efficiency works at a church/conference centre in Eastbourne, to enhance the building’s energy performance and sustainability.
The project scope involved over-cladding the 3000m² roof, re-lining gutters, and installing solar panels. The aim was to limit heat loss and reduce the centre’s energy costs while minimising disruption to the daily activities within the centre.
The Challenge
The centre’s existing roof system had reached a stage where energy efficiency improvements were essential. Rising energy costs and the need for sustainable operations drove the project’s objectives. It was critical to complete the works without affecting the operations of the venue, which required careful planning to reduce disruption.
The Solution
Maguire Brothers installed a single skin roofing system on a top hat bar and bracket framework. This new system incorporated 350mm of insulation, significantly improving thermal performance. New roof lights were added to enhance natural lighting within the centre, contributing to further energy savings.
A solar array of 100kWh was installed as part of the energy upgrade, reducing the centre’s reliance on grid electricity and promoting sustainable energy use. The gutter system was re-lined to ensure efficient rainwater management and minimise maintenance needs.
The Outcome
The Centre now benefits from an energy-efficient, future-proofed roofing system that limits heat loss and reduces energy expenditure. The addition of the solar array provides a sustainable energy source, supporting their commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
The project was completed with minimal disruption to operations, ensuring activities could continue to serve the community. The improvements made not only enhance energy efficiency but also ensure long-term value, positioning the centre for sustainable growth in the years to come.
