Project:

Hovis, food-production facility, Bradford

The Rapid R overlay system has been installed on the 3200 m2 roof at Hovis’ prestigious bread-baking factory in the heart of Bradford, protecting this iconic building against water ingress and helping maintain the viability of bread production at the site in Gain Lane, Bradford.

The factory’s previous roof waterproofing system had become severely compromised over time and needed replacing after multiple patchwork repairs to extend its serviceable life.

Our UK partner  were chosen to design, supply and install a complete  roof waterproofing system without impacting the working of this busy food-production facility.

The entire existing bituminous mineral surfaced roof area was overlayed with the Rapid R system and other ancillary work was undertaken to completely transform the roof and extend the serviceable life by many years to come. During the whole process the production could be maintained without interruption

Hovis Group Engineering Operations Manager commented: “We now have a high-quality roof waterproofing system protecting our iconic bread-baking factory in the heart of Bradford, where we produce our much-loved Hovis bread products”.
