Adel Square Care Home

Project Overview

Adel Square Care Home stands as a significant addition to the Adel community in Leeds, providing high-quality, modern living facilities for its residents. We were proud to be selected as the primary roofing contractor for this project, tasked with delivering a complex, dual-discipline roofing package that would not only provide weather-tight protection but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of this landmark development.

The Impact

More than just a building, Adel Square represents a commitment to the local area, offering state-of-the-art care facilities and creating vital local employment. Our team understood that this building needed to be constructed to the highest standards from the foundation to the roof to ensure longevity and comfort for its future residents.

The Challenge: Precision in a High-Pressure Environment

Logistics were the defining challenge of this site. With a single tower crane serving the entire construction project, the window for material movement was incredibly tight. Loading out tiles and roofing materials required meticulous planning to avoid disrupting the progress of other onsite trades.

Furthermore, the project involved complex roofing interfaces, including:

* Intricate mansard details

* Multi-faceted dormer installations

* Complex central valley gutters

To succeed, we had to coordinate seamlessly with a wide range of overlapping trades. The sequencing of the various roofing disciplines from the initial framing and waterproofing to the final slate installation was critical to keeping the project on schedule.

The Solution: The "One Umbrella" Advantage

The success of this project is a testament to our “one umbrella” approach. By managing both the flat and pitched roofing disciplines in-house, we eliminated the communication gaps and scheduling friction that often occur when different contractors handle different parts of the roof.

This integrated workflow allowed us to:

* Streamline the transition between trades.

* Solve interface challenges between the flat and pitched elements in real-time.

* Maintain a unified standard of quality across every square meter of the roof.

Technical Specifications

To achieve the architectural vision and performance requirements, we utilized high-grade materials chosen for their durability and clean finish:

Pitched Roofing: Cedral Thrutone fibre cement slates, chosen specifically for their flat, clean, and contemporary lines.

Single Ply Roofing: Protan 1.6 mm SE membrane for superior durability and weathertightness.

Asphalt Roofing: IKO systems for robust flat roof protection.

The Result

The imagery speaks for itself. We delivered a high-spec, visually striking, and technically sound roofing solution that integrates perfectly with the architecture of the building. We are truly proud of the workmanship achieved at Adel Square, a project that highlights exactly what can be accomplished when specialised roofing disciplines are brought under one umbrella.
