the asbestos was removed from the roof, not only making it safer but modernising the building to bring it in line with modern warehouses. Regular airborne asbestos monitoring was completed throughout the project, giving the client peace of mind. An invisible but impactful issue with an old roof is the negative
impact it can have on energy bills. T ere were many factors which impacted the energy effi ciency of
the old roof in this case, and they have now been drastically improved. T e solar refl ection of the previous asbestos roof was poor, and the ventilation wasn’t good – meaning that the inside of the building got very hot during the summer and extremely cold in the winter. T e new roof has roofl ights, which has a massive impact on
electricity bills, as when it is bright outside, the warehouse can be lit entirely by natural light. T is saves energy – and therefore money – and also makes the warehouse feel brighter and fresh, leading to a generally more pleasant working environment. T e modern materials of the roof itself also have an impact on
the energy rating of the roof, and in turn, the site. T e replacement improved the energy rating of the site all the way from E to B, which will save the client a signifi cant amount of money moving forward.
The outcome Firstly, it goes without saying that the new roof looks signifi cantly better. T e modern-looking building, with the new external wall cladding that surrounds the roof and loading bays gave the building a much-needed update. Naturally, this isn’t a reason to replace a roof, but it’s an added
bonus that makes the site look cleaner and more modern. T e client said: “FMS and the team have been amazing and
supportive throughout the complete roof replacement. Their communication and dedication to the project has been exemplary and the roofi ng team have been a pleasure to work with. “We are so pleased with the result that we are now looking to replicate this project on another of our properties. Great job, FMS!”
