When selecting the right roof tiles for the re-build, it was vital to find one that matched its Edwardian predecessors to return the building to its former glory. Ideal for this role, BMI Redland Rosemary Clay Classic tiles were selected by architect Wilby & Burnett. This important project required a wealth of experience, so Wilby & Burnett worked with the main contractor Associated Installations and W O’Dwyer to complete the project for the Diocese of Westminster. The roof at St Joseph’s is a complex one, with several turrets, numerous dormer windows and a decorative, lead-clad cupola at its centre. In addition to the complexity, a challenge for the designers and roofers was the irregularity of the old roof which had to be re-created. “It was noticed from record drawings that the building was not constructed entirely squarely and that the existing roof pitches varied in different locations. The roof had to be set out to relate to the existing gables which had to be retained,” commented architect Bob Ecclestone of Wilby & Burnett. A number of parts of the project required additional work to bring the roof in line with current standards. Insulation was added to help meet modern energy efficiency Part L Standards and the new roof frame had to be steel rather than timber to meet modern structural design codes. www.bmigroup.com/uk St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School used BMI Redland’s Rosemary Clay Classic. Hambleside Danelaw’s Zenon brand of Rooflights can further help in the Energy and Health & Wellbeing categories ENE01 and HEA1. Beyond BREEAM, rooflights reduce the need for supplementary artificial lighting, and heating. A building with 10% rooflights can require supplementary electric lighting for 30% more hours in a working year than a building with 15% rooflights. ROOFLIGHTS: EVERY LITTLE HELPS With the Government legislating for the UK to become net zero carbon by 2050, every gram that can be saved will count. Hambleside Danelaw’s Zenon brand of GRP rooflights are the only brand of GRP in-plane rooflight to have attained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) from the BRE, which means they can tangibly contribute towards a building’s BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Energy Assessment Method) rating. As a result, Zenon GRP in-plane rooflights contribute a minimum 1.5 points towards BREEAM when used as part of a metal roof system in the Materials category. www.hambleside-danelaw.co.uk STEP UP TO THE SAFETY CHALLENGE Kee Walk Step-overs from Kee Safety are a range of modular, off the shelf step-overs that provide a safe means of access where obstructions exist on a roof, such as pipework, plant equipment and conduits. Suitable for use on a variety of roof types and surfaces including concrete, membrane, metallic and composite, Kee Walk Step-overs accommodate changes in roof levels to offer a safe, anti-slip, level walking surface onto and across roofs. Standard Kee Walk Step-overs are available in kit form to accommodate different height requirements and are delivered pre-assembled for easy installation. Each kit includes a double handrail and toe-boards for added safety, a choice of nylon or aluminium treads and base feet options to suit different roof types. www.keesafety.co.uk MINIMISING MAINTENANCE IS KEY Marley Alutec’s high quality aluminium Evolve and Evoke roofline systems were selected to provide a low maintenance, durable solution for Milestone Farm in Wymondham, Norfolk. Milestone Farm owner David Ford: “Being involved in the design and specification of every aspect allowed us to create something unique.” A key factor in the design and construction of owner David Ford’s 6 bedroom, 435m² property was longevity and minimising maintenance requirements. The marine-grade aluminium used by Marley Alutec is highly corrosion resistant due to its naturally occurring protective oxide coating. This means the system will not require regular maintenance throughout its expected 50-year lifespan. www.marleyalutec.co.uk 66 TC OCTOBER <strong>2019</strong>
