Overview

Over an eighteen-month programme, our team of twelve carried out a full refurbishment of the roof glazing at Bishops Square, working day and night shifts to keep the building below fully operational.

Every sealant joint across the roof was cut out and replaced, and all pressure plates between the glazing units were renewed. Damaged glass panels were removed and replaced as part of the same works, restoring the roof to a fully weathertight condition.

  2. Replacement of all pressure plates across the roof glazing
  3. Replacement of broken glazing units
  4. Day and night shift working over 18 months
