Redland BMI Roofing System (full manufacturer specification) / Site-Wide Maintenance via MEWP Access
Project Overview
DL Jones Roofing Services was appointed by Leaders Property Management to carry out a full roof replacement programme and comprehensive site-wide maintenance across a residential housing estate in Mitcham, South London. The project comprised two complete pitched roof replacements on residential blocks, plus a wide-ranging programme of external repairs – all delivered using MEWP (Mobile Elevated Working Platform) access to minimise disruption across the occupied estate.
Property management clients require a roofing partner who can coordinate complex, multi-phase programmes across occupied residential buildings. Our full range of services for property management companies and housing associations is designed around exactly that requirement – keeping residents informed, managing access sensitively, and delivering quality results.
Scope of Work
This multi-trade project was delivered in phases and involved both roofing and general external building works. Our services included:
- Complete removal and replacement of roof coverings to two residential blocks
- New breathable underlay, treated battens, and Redland interlocking tiles
- Weatherproof detailing to hips, ridges, valleys, and abutments
- Use of MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Working Platforms) for high-access works
Targeted repair and maintenance to:
- Roof structures and flashings
- Rainwater goods and guttering
- Brickwork, pointing, and general façade elements
Why Redland BMI?
The Redland BMI system offers proven performance and robust manufacturer backing, making it ideal for multi-unit residential properties.
Key Benefits:
- BBA-certified and warranty-backed
- High weather resistance and colour retention
- Compatible with modern insulation and ventilation requirements
- Full compliance with NHBC and building control standards
Smart Access with MEWPs
Instead of relying on scaffold across the estate, we utilised MEWP access for reactive and planned maintenance. This enabled:
- Swift and safe access to all elevations
- Minimal disruption to residents and walkways
- Faster turnaround for inspection and repairs
Final Outcome
The project was delivered on time, on budget, and in full alignment with the client’s brief. The new roofs now provide long-term protection, while the site-wide maintenance significantly improved the estate’s overall appearance and integrity. By combining a manufacturer-approved roofing system with proactive upkeep, we’ve extended the lifecycle of the estate and delivered real value to both the property managers and residents.
