Background of the Case Study
Working on a national scale, the SDE Group believes in offering solutions to their clients that not only meet their immediate needs but also allow their clients to ensure their business remains future-proof for the foreseeable future. SDE entrusted RPMG with various responsibilities within a live building site, meaning the work needed a quick turn-around, whilst upholding RPMG’s well-known standards of high quality and precision.
SDE Group faced the challenge of preparing a former Toolstation site for the end of a lease agreement. RPMG Global, an expert in building maintenance, was entrusted with the task of addressing the end-of-lease challenges which included a multitude of tasks and responsibilities.
Completed Works
RPMG’s scope of work included:
Supplying and Installing Safe Roof Access: RPMG Global successfully supplied and installed safe roof access, ensuring that the property met essential safety standards. This work provided a secure environment for maintenance activities while adhering to regulations, allowing for the safe execution of the necessary maintenance tasks on the property.
Restoration Where Previous Tenants’ Signage Location: The process involved the meticulous restoration of areas where previous tenants’ signage was located. RPMG’s team ensured that the property’s appearance was restored to a condition that met the lease agreement’s requirements. This meticulous attention to detail contributed to the overall readiness of the property for the lease’s conclusion.
Conducting Specialist Roof Cleaning of the Kalzip Roof, Flashings, Bullnose, and Façades: RPMG’s expert team executed specialist roof cleaning on the Kalzip roof, flashings, bullnose, and façade.
