SH05574 - REPLACEMENT ROOFING PROJECT 2020-2025 (PITCHED ROOF REPLACEMENTS AND ROOFLINE WORKS)

The project comprises the renewal of main roof coverings to various properties throughout the Sheffield City boundaries, including individual houses and bungalows, flats, maisonettes and sheltered accommodation. Works to the main roof will include removal of existing coverings, checking the structure and completing any necessary repairs, new under-felt, battens, tile/slate coverings, hips, ridges, valleys, renewal of eaves, fascia, verges, gutters and downpipes. There will also be associated loft insulation and limited replacement of flat roofs to off shots such as bay windows, dormers or communal areas. Although the majority of main roofs are pitched, there are some main flat roofing works included. A variety of roof coverings will be included in the project, dependent on the property type, pitch of the individual roof and location. It should be noted that Marley Ltd/Etex Ltd and Icopal have been included as the main products within the specification and design. However, The Contractor can propose alternative products for approval, but must demonstrate they provide an equivalent standard. The majority of properties will be occupied during the progress of the works and the Contractor will be expected to demonstrate a high level of tenant liaison, including the employment of a tenant liaison officer. The project also includes the trial installation of solar PV and battery storage to a limited number of communal flats; this element will be Contractor designed.
