Repair Abseiling Limited completed a really complex abseiling zinc cladding installation project at Charlotte Street, London, for “The Sevens” where our team designed, manufactured and installed a new VM Zinc cladding system to the window bay, which eventually made the front elevation complete. These missing cladding parts of the new aluminium – glass window bay, and the missing lead flashing and coping system on the back of the building couldn’t be completed by the builders in the original building process. Sometimes the proper and safe access solution, sometimes the right tradesman or company is missing for the seamless completion, so in this case these projects were waiting for the right professionals, who were able to manage these works safely and professionally, from A – Z. As these parts of the building required special access solutions and professional tradesmen for completion, our client (the owner of this building) was looking for and eventually found our special abseiling services, and our professional abseiler team for these really special and complex projects. Based on our decades of experience in zinc roof, zinc cladding and zinc coping installation and repairs, especially using rope access (if necessary), made this project possible. Building a new ply base for the new cladding system, installing the EPDM membrane waterproofing, cutting and folding to measure all parts, corners, edges and sheets on site, and installing the new zinc cladding system bit by bit was a real challenge for our engineering skills, but despite these difficulties and challenges this window bay and the complete front elevation of this building is complete now with this bespoke and great looking VM Zinc cladding, which made the final handover protocol seamlessly possible on time in budget.
The missing lead flashing and lead copings on the side and back of the building also caused some headache for the owner of the building and the principal contractor, which was waiting for professional resolution and completion. Our team delivered a professional resolution for this issue as well on these inaccessible parts of this building, and installed a bespoke design lead flashing and coping system to these delicate building parts. Setting up a new and right sloping and direction for the running rainwater, folding and sealing all joints to make these delicate lead joints waterproof required some engineering skills, but our professional team put this abseiling service to the next level in this project. Working with lead sheets, setting up or repairing lead flashings, and lead roofs or lead claddings is our daily routine and fundamental part of our roofing services, which made the professional execution of this project possible.
Repair Abseiling Limited’s abseiling services wouldn’t be complete on Charlotte St. project, if the comprehensive building and window cleaning, painting touch up, and other snagging (masticing, waterproofing, fixing, …etc) would not be carried out by our professionals. The professional mastic sealing of the newly built cladding, and cleaning all external surfaces (windows, frames, walls, zinc roof, …etc) were also part of our abseiling services on this project.
