Thwaites Ltd – Over-Roof and New Build

Project Overview

Thwaites Ltd, a leading manufacturer of site dumpers, undertook a significant redevelopment at their Cubbington facility to improve supply chain operations and support their production line expansion. Delivered over two distinct phases by 1 Eighty Roofing Solutions, the project involved a combination of over-roofing and new-build cladding works spanning over 12,000m2 across multiple structures.
● Phase 1: 5,000 m2 over-roof to existing Building B3
● Phase 2: 4,200 m2 new-build roof – Tata Platinum Plus specification
1,800 m2 new-build walls – Tata Platinum Plus

Timeline
● Phase 1: 2 April – 14 June 2024 (42 days)
● Phase 2: 18 November 2024 – 14 March 2025 (75 days)
Both phases were delivered on time and defect free, despite demanding site conditions and seasonal challenges.

Challenges

Phase 1: Installation over a live production facility required careful sequencing, coordination, and speed to minimise disruption.
Tight Programmes: Both phases had limited durations, with zero margin for delay.
Phase 2 Winter Conditions: Cold weather and shorter daylight hours added logistical pressure.
