Cambridge Roofers – Roof Refurbishment at Levidian

Cambridge Roofers completed a full roof refurbishment for Levidian, addressing persistent leaks and severe roof damage at their city centre location.

he roof had various issues, including cracks, leaks, and deteriorating skylights. These problems required expert intervention to ensure the building remained safe and functional.

The initial approach involved assessing localized repairs, but ongoing condensation from the single-skin roof led to further complications. After careful consideration, Cambridge Roofers recommended a sustainable solution—a full insulated overclad system. This system offered long-term benefits, including better energy efficiency and prevention of moisture-related issues.

During the refurbishment, Cambridge Roofers also focused on improving the building’s appearance. Skylights were replaced, and custom flashing details were integrated to ensure a tight, weather-resistant seal. One challenge was the vertical cladding, which was initially going to be replaced. However, Cambridge Roofers suggested re-coating the existing cladding, providing a cost-effective solution while preserving the building’s aesthetic appeal.

The project was completed on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to Levidian’s operations. The new roof system provides improved insulation and reduces energy consumption, contributing to the building’s sustainability.

In the final stages, Levidian approved the full roof refurbishment, which included replacing damaged skylights and integrating a custom flashing detail. Cambridge Roofers solved a complex design challenge by proposing to re-coat vertical cladding instead of removing it, saving both time and cost.
