Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG), via constituent company NSS Group, has completed a specialist roof overcladding project for a leading home improvements and DIY retailer.
With 316 stores across the UK, the customer has a product portfolio comprising home furnishing, lighting and building supplies. Others are plumbing, doors and windows, tools and equipment, hardware equipment, paint, wallpaper and decorating supplies.
Excessive annual energy costs at the retailer’s Leatherhead store stemmed from poor thermal insulation, with heating costs identified as a significant portion. This has led to actively seeking solutions to significantly reduce thermal loss in a cost-effective and safe manner. The process was considered so that it brings minimal disruption to trading.
PTSG’s Building Access Specialists Ltd proposed an over-cladding solution that was appropriately cost-effective. The solution incorporated vertical decoration to the main warehouse in order to improve customer perception of the B&Q site. The solution emphasised ongoing safety throughout the project whilst minimising any trading disruption.
PTSG’s engineers installed 3100m² metal roof overclad with Ashgrid bracketry system, 240mm Glass Fibre Insulation and 32/1000 plastisol coated profiled steel roof sheets. Existing rooflights were also overclad.
