| Ash
& Lacy Building Systems has proved invaluable to several
ambulance stations in Yorkshire that have all undergone
refurbishments or re-roofing projects. Stations from the
Yorkshire Ambulance service in Halifax, Longley and
Rotherham all decided Ash & Lacy’s AshJack flat to pitched
roofing system would be the perfect solution to eradicate
the long term water ingress problems that were affecting all
the sites. |

Abbey Construction Consultants
worked alongside Yorkshire Ambulance Service on the
stations, all of which are flat-roofed and all comprising of
a large garage and offices. The stations were typical of
flat-roofed buildings with inherent water seepage problems
including degradation of brickwork. Typically the garages
are around 400square metres and the offices between
200square metres and 400square metres. All required an
over-roof conversion system to address the problems. |

Ash & Lacy’s AshJack was
specified by Abbey CCL following their research into other
comparable systems which proved Ash & Lacy to be superior
and the best solution for all of the projects, despite their
slightly differing requirements. AshJack provides a
permanent weather-tight solution for a wide range of failed
flat roofs. Furthermore, AshJack is highly cost effective
and comes into its own when meeting the very tight budgets
of refurbishment projects, whether for the public or private
sector. In this case it allowed remedial work to be carried
out rather than incurring the costs of a completely new
roof. |

The ambulance stations also
benefited from the AWM 25 year warranty as part of the Ash &
Lacy service which met the warranty specified by the client.
The insurance backed warranty is independently audited and
provides on-site inspections at key stages to ensure peace
of mind. This warranty is invaluable for projects that are
already experiencing budget cuts and reduces ongoing
maintenance costs. |

Graham Holden, Director of Abbey
CCL comments: ‘AshJack provided the perfect solution for all
of these projects and thanks to Ash & Lacy’s ongoing
guarantee with the AWM warranty our client was more than
reassured about the product’s sustainability. Furthermore,
the AshJack system means minimal disruption to the occupants
of the building; so much so that two of the stations
remained fully operational throughout the works’. |
|
Ray Harriman, Director of Ash &
Lacy comments: ‘AshJack has been used extensively on
refurbishment and re-roofing projects since we first
introduced it to the UK in 1991. Since then we have
constantly innovated the system to ensure it remains
undefeated and the best solution for a wide range of failed
flat roofs’. |
