The scope of works involved the replacement of the existing roof covering to the original pitched roof building. The roof was upgraded using a lightweight single-lap steel tile system, providing improved durability and long-term weather protection.

The building comprises two roof elements: an original pitched roof and a later flat roof extension. The flat roof extension did not form part of the scope of works, allowing the project team to focus solely on the pitched roof replacement.

Key activities included:

  • Removal of the existing pitched roof covering
  • Installation of a lightweight single-lap steel tile roof system
  • Ongoing quality assurance inspections
  • Final checks and handover upon completion

Key Challenge: Live Trading Environment

The store remained open and trading throughout the project, requiring careful planning and controlled working methods. Jupiter Construction implemented:

  • Clearly segregated working zones
  • Protective netting when working above the store entrance
  • A client-agreed methodology to maintain customer and staff safety
  • A compact and well-managed site set-up to minimise impact on the car park

All works were sequenced to ensure uninterrupted store operations and a safe environment for the public.
