<p>Further to your recent enquiry, we have pleasure in providing our report on the existing roofing together with outline options and accompanying budget costs for your consideration.</p><p>We were able to determine that the main roof is weathered with a bituminous felt system, completed with granite roof chippings, there are several vents on the roof and a large plant screen / housing.</p><p>We understand that consideration is being given to stripping off the old roofing and replacing with a new system, either felt or a single ply membrane, we can provide costs for both, however, we would not recommend using a single ply membrane on roofs with extensive plant and equipment, they tend to become very slippery during inclement weather. Therefore roof access for maintenance purposes would be limited, walkway systems can be installed, but these are expensive and a considerable amount might be required to provide safe access to all equipment.</p><p>The roof can be stripped and a new high performance felt system with insulation installed, however, the roof plant would have to be temporally disconnected and removed to facilitate the works, and this together with the noise generated by the roof stripping is likely to require the temporary closure of the kitchen area.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>New 20 Year SiG Backed Guarantee Liquid Coating system.</strong></p><p>20 Year SiG Guaranteed - Liquid Coating System</p><p><strong>Preparation:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;To prepare the existing roof surface by removing all chippings, Loose chippings would be swept up, chippings more firmly adhered will be removed with mechanical de-chipping machine, (Scarifier), all chippings would be bagged up and removed from the roof and disposed of into skips provided by ourselves.</p><p><strong>Isolation Board:&nbsp;</strong>After &nbsp;the &nbsp;chippings &nbsp;have &nbsp;been &nbsp;removed, supply and&nbsp;lay&nbsp;in a suitable adhesive a 10mm thick recovery board to isolate the old roof and the new, all joints in the boards to be taped.</p><p><strong>Primer:</strong> Apply &nbsp;SiGnature &nbsp;PU &nbsp;Primer &nbsp;to &nbsp;the &nbsp;boards &nbsp;and &nbsp;all &nbsp;associated roofing details.</p><p><strong>Liquid Coating:</strong> Apply two coats of SiGnature PU-20 Liquid Coating, laid wet on wet at the rate of 1.5 to 1.8 kg/m2.</p><p><strong>Roofing Details:</strong> Prior &nbsp;to &nbsp;the &nbsp;application &nbsp;of &nbsp;the &nbsp;new &nbsp;coating &nbsp;system, &nbsp;apply</p><p>Signature Detail Paste to the base of all upstands, change in directions etc, sealing around all outlets, pipes etc. More difficult to access areas can be treated with SiGnature Liquid Fibre.</p><p>The new Liquid Coating System would be installed in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines to an overall roof area of approximately 400 m2, (main roof above kitchen &amp; small roof above entrance doors), we include for all associated items, i.e. GRP edge trims and the like.</p><p>We have included costs for an independent scaffold handrail to be erected from the ground around the full perimeter of the building, (i.e. clear of the roof). This is to include a Haki Staircase for personnel and material access.</p><p>We shall try to work around any roof mounted plant or equipment, where this is not practical, it should be temporally disconnected and removed by others to facilitate the works, if this is not practical then we there is the option to use our best endeavors to work to and around, and qualify the guarantee accordingly.</p><p>The new liquid coating system would follow the falls of the existing roofing, if the roof currently suffers with ponding water, then it is likely to remain as this system will not alter the falls of the roof, however, ponding water is not detrimental to the coating nor will it effect the guarantee.</p><p>There will be some noise generated when the old chippings are scarifier, to this end we would normally carry out these works early, or late to reduce disruption to your normal operations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Budget Cost &pound;71,000.00</strong></p>
