An older hall can be brought up to today's energy standard without demolishing it — and usually without stopping production.
We inspect the envelope and assess fixings, corrosion, water ingress and thermal bridges. Only then do we say whether added insulation is enough or recladding pays off. Sometimes the honest answer is: this will last another ten years, leave it alone.
We fix a supporting grid, insulation and a new outer skin over the existing sheet or panel. The hall gets a new appearance and new thermal performance in one step, with no demolition and no rubble.
For build-ups past their service life. Strip-out, inspection and where needed repair of the steel frame, then a new envelope — phased so production keeps running.
We prepare the inputs an energy assessor and a grant application need: build-ups, U-values, area schedules and before-and-after photo documentation. On old halls the heating saving is usually tens of per cent.
If the steel frame is sound and the layout works, recladding is far cheaper than a new build and needs no new planning consent. The deciding factor is the condition and capacity of the structure — which we assess on a site visit.
On uninsulated, gas-heated halls, payback is commonly a few years. The precise figure comes from an energy assessor working with real consumption — we supply the build-ups and areas.
Yes. It often starts with the north elevation or the roof, where losses are greatest, and the rest follows in the next budget period.
