Projects: Residential Care Home – Wallingford

Published on 3rd March 2021

When Lifebuild Solutions Ltd secured the contract to build a much-needed Care Home to replace the original dated facility they called upon the expertise of Bracknell Roofing to install the pitched and flat roofing system.

The build sees the laying of 432m² of Mixed Brindle tiling along with single-ply on parapets and box guttering. Due to the 22.5^o low pitch of the dormers, Bracknell have installed an Onduline Sheeting system which will act as a leak prevention system.

Working closely with our client we plan our works around the scaffolders ensuring that the carpenters are able to work on the dormer roofs prior to the tiling. As the build is in the heart of a residential area our Contracts Manager ensures that no site delivery is made before 10am, thus causing as little disruption to the neighbourhood as feasibly possible.

Once completed the building will consist of 23 modern homes designed specifically for the needs of the older generation as well as a communal area for the residents.
