Jupiter Construction successfully undertook a re-roofing project for the ALDI Spalding store, addressing a dilapidated concrete-tiled roof. The works included the removal of the existing roof covering, installation of an underlying board, and the placement of new concrete tiles in line with the specifications. Additionally, the project scope involved renewing aluminium capping to the gables, removing and reinstating solar panels, and implementing pest control measures.
The project was completed for ALDI UK, reporting to their Property Maintenance Department, and was managed by Edge Consulting with architectural input from the Harris Partnership.

Jupiter Construction delivered a successful outcome for ALDI, achieving the following:
