A challenging rooflight replacement over a live shopping centre

The large spans required careful engineering and bespoke bracketing solutions

Working as the main contractor, Osprey were chosen to replace the five large rooflights over this busy shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead.

Working with care

Site safety and safe working practices on this sort of project are paramount. The temporary access works required were carried out inside a live shopping centre, meaning both customers and site operatives needed the full protection of on-site safety procedures. Throughout the dismantle of the existing roof, large pieces of structure and glazing have to be carefully removed from site by crane — with the new materials correctly packed and craned-up to roof level.

  • Safe lifting practices and plans, with risk assessments and method statements from all sub contractors
  • Full CDM main contractor compliance
  • Regular inspections by our independent health and safety advisors.

High quality products & installation

Osprey always take great pride in providing only the very best of products, installation and service. For this project, Osprey used a Schueco FW60 framework and solar-controlled glazing. The large spans required careful engineering and bespoke bracketing solutions.

  • Full design and build package
  • Quality products chosen for long lasting performance
  • Bespoke solutions engineered, procured and installed where required.
