Ministry of Defence – RAF Northolt

Working on behalf of Carillion, the team at Abbey Roofing was given the major task of re-roofing 140 properties at RAF Northolt which was home to military personnel and their families.

Due to the variety of different ranks of personnel living at the station, there were several different sizes and styles of houses that we were required to work on, which demanded a flexible approach from our professionals.

Because of the busy nature of the RAF base, we had to ensure that everyone stayed safe throughout the entire process whilst coordinating many different elements of the project, such as constantly organising skips and deliveries on a daily basis, and running weekly waste reports to submit to the client.

Products used in this re-roof included a mix of Redland Renown interlocking tiles with all dry-fix components.

On the larger properties, Redland Clay rosemary tiles were used with a mix of vertical tiling. And to bring the properties up-to-date, we also replaced the old-style concrete gutters with carefully constructed uPVC fascias and soffits.

Overall, this ambitious project took approximately 15 months and resulted in repeat work for our team.
