Roof leakage
Four construction workers in yellow high-visibility shirts are installing a large metal sheet on a rooftop under a clear blue sky. Three workers are holding the sheet, while one is kneeling in front, holding a bucket. Solar panels are visible in the background.

Leakages in the existing store, caused by non-compliant flashings, threatened trade continuity. Inadequate waterproofing measures led to potential loss of trade, highlighting the urgent need for remedial action to prevent water ingress and protect the store’s inventory, thereby ensuring uninterrupted business operations and safeguarding revenue streams.

The definitive remedy involved the complete re-flashing of the existing roof, specifically under the plant area. This meticulous process was designed to address and rectify the deficiencies in the original flashing, thereby eliminating the risk of future leakages. The intervention was strategically planned to ensure minimal disruption to the store's operations, preserving the store's ability to trade.

The strategic solution enabled the client to continue trading without any interruptions, effectively mitigating the risk of water damage and potential trade loss. The comprehensive re-flashing of 490 square meters of the roof under the plant area reinstated a water-tight environment, thereby ensuring the store’s resilience against weather-related challenges and safeguarding its operational continuity.

  • Resolved leakages with complete roof re-flashing under plant area.
  • Ensured uninterrupted trading, protecting inventory and revenue streams.
  • Restored 490m² of roof, safeguarding against future weather challenges.
