This major regeneration scheme delivers 1,913 new homes over approximately 47,000 sqm of residential, community and commercial spaces.

Delivered across three phases, Skyler has undertaken site-wide waterproofing works totalling approximately 22,000 sqm, supporting the phased evolution of the development and ensuring continuity of performance across multiple build stages.

Given the scale and complexity of the scheme, a multi-system approach was adopted to meet varying design, performance, and programme requirements. This included the installation of bituminous hot melt systems, built-up felt roofing, and cold applied waterproofing solutions, all integrated with non-combustible insulation to meet stringent fire safety and regulatory standards.

Roof finishes across the development incorporate a combination of blue and green roof systems, alongside paved and decked areas, delivering a balanced approach to sustainability, water management, and user access.

The result is a robust, high-performance waterproofing strategy that delivers a professional, future-proofed solution for this large-scale regeneration project.

The university required a full roofing upgrade to replace an outdated system that no longer met performance or thermal efficiency standards. Skyler was appointed to deliver a comprehensive solution designed to enhance durability, energy efficiency, and long-term asset value.

Our team successfully removed over 4,500 sqm of the existing roof. The new installation incorporated a high-performance Hot Melt Waterproofing system combined with XPS insulation.

To further optimise water management and sustainability, a bespoke Blue Roof attenuation system was integrated, effectively controlling rainwater runoff and supporting drainage efficiency.

In addition, approximately 900 sqm of Three-Layer Felt roofing with PIR insulation was installed, ensuring consistent performance across varied roof areas.

The project was completed with high-quality ballast and paving finishes.

Skyler Contracting were tasked as Principal Contractor for the refurbishment to a number of roof areas at Meridian High School.

The existing roof areas had passed their serviceable life and were in need for thermal upgrades alongside a new waterproofing system.

In addition, all soffit, fascia and rainwater goods would also be upgraded to powder coated metal by Skyler Contracting.

Skyler Contracting worked diligently throughout the project, which consisted of over 3,000 sqm and delivered the trust all the requirements the project needed.
