Project Details

Location: Guildford, Surrey
Main contractor: Russell Cawberry
Sub contractor: Salnor Roofing Services Ltd
Completion Date: 04 Dec 2024
St Luke's Cancer Centre is a clinic that sits as part of the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.

Providing care for cancer patients across the county, this clinic has undergone work to extend and refurbish the space within the clinic. Including the creation of nearly double the amount of existing clinical space, spacious entrances, and a whole range of additional clinical facilities.

Challenge

Specialist roofing company Salnor Roofing Services Ltd were contracted to secure the roof of the clinic, a flat roof with varying levels of tapered insulation - adding complexity to the project.

Solution

Salnor Roofing turned to us to carry out a windload calculation and tube/fastener selection for the tapered insulation scheme, which gave them a detailed breakdown of the fasteners and tube washers required to securely fix the roof.

We supplied SF-T tube washers combined with SF-RS-5.8 fasteners, in different lengths to match the levels of insulation on the roof - for both the insulation and membrane fix as part of the application.

Our SureFast fasteners and tube washers are suitable for a range of substrates including metal, timber and concrete decks - and have been specifically designed to overcome the cold-bridging effect of mechanical fasteners.
