Highview have been instructed by Shoregate Consulting to carry out a full strip of the two main tower roofs at the 18 floor Harbour Exchange Towers on the Isle of Dogs in London.

Starting on site in late September, the replacement will be with a new Bauder system, covering an area of 865m2, over a 3-month programme. 

Removal and loading will have to be conducted via the towers’ service lifts, due to the operational nature of this busy commercial facility.

“Acting as the main contractor on a scheme like this requires precise coordination and rigorous site management to keep our programme running smoothly.

We are looking forward to getting this roof finished for the client in time for Christmas.”

 

– Terry Lake, Managing Director

Starting a 10 week programme at Bower Park Academy in Romford this week, Highview are excited to be transforming the roof and façade of 1809m2 of the school.

Acting as Principle Contractor, we are renewing 6 roof areas using a Bauder Total Tapered System, including 1442m2 of strip up and 367m2 of overlay as well as overseeing scaffold, cladding works and asbestos removal.

“Coordinating this project will utilise our experience in technical roofing solutions as well as project management.

 

I have every confidence that our strong relationships with our supply chain and the managing consultants will ensure that this programme is a total success.”

 

– Dan Costen, Pre-Construction Director

Working with Able Contracts for CBRE, Highview are very pleased to be mobilising this 415m2 roofing project in the heart of London’s bustling Covent Garden.

Starting on site in September, the re-roofing of these mixed-use properties will take place on Long Acre, a street lined with operational retail units, busy with pedestrians and London traffic.

Replacing natural slate tiles and completing the associated lead works, Highview will also be installing an area of Bauder flat roofing system.

“Delivering roof replacements on commercial London streets like these requires a high level of vigilance, organisation and a heightened awareness of safety management.

 

Fortunately, our operational teams handle scenarios like this every day and are among the most experienced and professional operatives in the trade. I look forward to checking in on their progress once this project is off the ground.”

Joining the team in July, Greg Williams, Commercial Director, enters Highview following a successful time at Wates.

Greg now manages all the commercial and financial aspects of all business units within the group, producing the relevant update reports to disseminate among the directors, giving clarity and advice, as well as assisting the operational team with order placements.

With 15 years of experience within the construction industry, Greg was once working as a qualified electrician, before naturally progressing into the commercial management of projects. Having worked for both Main Contractors and Sub-Contractors, Greg has extensive experience of Commercial, Residential and Education sector works.

“Following my appointment at Highview I am setting clear goals and objectives for the commercial and financial teams to implement over the coming months.

 

My aim is to successfully integrate these changes into the business by the end of September 2019 ready for our new financial year, this will enable us to improve the transfer of information within all other departments throughout the entire delivery process.

 

I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and to making a real impact on the continued growth of this already successful business.”

Work has just commenced at the Queensmead Shopping Centre in Farnborough, to complete a full roof replacement using a Langley Roofing felt system.

This £175k project was awarded to us by Orchard Build and is one of many recently secured commercial flat roofing projects at Highview.

“Working in operational commercial environments such as shopping centres, requires a consistently professional approach, with a heightened awareness of public presence.”

 

“This retail facility will be given a new lease of life with this refurbishment and we are excited to see the results of our efforts.“

Having just been awarded this £275k project by Mulalley, Preston Park Primary School in Wembley becomes the latest in a long line of recent success for Highview within the education sector. 

Removing and replacing pitched roofing, flat roofing and also rainwater goods, this 19 week refurbishment programme will commence on site during the first week of August.

“It comes as no surprise to me that Highview is becoming the ‘go-to’ contractor for school roof replacement works of this type. Our team is very experienced in installations within education environments and they are especially aware of the importance of programme deadlines and their significance to school timetables. 

 

We look forward to continuing to undertake more projects of this nature.”
