21CBS was appointed to deliver the complete roof replacement of Carrswood Adult Day Centre while the facility remained fully operational throughout the programme.
The existing zinc roof had failed and required full replacement. However, the structural load capacity of the existing roof structure was unknown, preventing the loading of materials onto the roof and requiring carefully planned temporary works and enhanced safety controls. The project also faced logistical challenges due to restricted access via a single approach route from Watery Lane.
Working within an occupied adult care environment introduced additional considerations around noise, dust, access management and safeguarding. The programme was further complicated by winter working conditions, requiring robust weather protection measures to maintain progress and protect the building.
Our team developed a carefully phased delivery strategy to maintain safe access and minimise disruption to service users and staff throughout the programme.
Working within a live care environment, 21CBS carefully managed logistics, access restrictions and out-of-hours activities to support ongoing operations.
Close collaboration with the client and design team ensured design developments were successfully incorporated while maintaining programme momentum.
The works included:
Full strip and replacement of the existing failed zinc roof
Installation of a new standing-seam aluminium roofing system
Installation of a hybrid insulation solution designed to retain existing roof levels
Re-sizing of existing internal gutters
Replacement of internal gutters throughout the building
Internal ceiling decorations associated with gutter replacement works
External rendering repairs
External painting works
Installation of a Haki 750 temporary roof system
Scaffold safety measures including alarm systems and secure compound management
Mono-ridge roof detailing modifications
Installation of vertical insulation solutions
The project was successfully completed while maintaining uninterrupted operation of the adult day centre throughout the programme.
Through active liaison with centre management, site inductions, stringent safety controls and effective noise and dust mitigation measures, the project team successfully protected the wellbeing of staff and service users while delivering the works.
The completed aluminium standing-seam roof, upgraded insulation and replacement gutter systems provide a durable, high-performance roofing solution that will significantly improve long-term building performance, weather protection and maintenance requirements.
Despite winter working conditions and programme variations, the works were successfully delivered with agreed delay events and variations incorporated into the final account.
