Solution
Units 15 and 16 at The Tanneries Industrial Estate in Havant required the replacement of their asbestos-cement roofs while retaining the existing concrete roof structure. The completed package covered approximately 1,000 m² across the two industrial units.
The Replacement Roof
The old roof coverings were removed and replaced with 120 mm Joriside insulated composite panels. Double-skin GRP rooflights were installed to bring natural light into both units, with new ridges, bargeboards, seals, fixings and rear cladding completing the envelope.
- Approximately 1,000 m² across two adjoining units
- Existing asbestos-cement roof coverings removed
- 120 mm insulated composite roof panels installed
- Double-skin GRP rooflights incorporated into each unit
- Rear wall cladding and associated trims completed
Working with the Existing Concrete Purlins
The existing prestressed concrete purlins were retained. Timber battens were secured around them with stainless-steel Band-It straps using the Kingspan EU97 approach, allowing the new insulated roof panels to be fixed without drilling into the concrete purlins.
