Project Overview

Background

JMSM Properties Limited required a comprehensive fabric upgrade across four social housing apartment blocks located at Falconhall Road (L9), Liverpool. Due to weathering and age, the building envelopes required essential external interventions to halt deterioration, address water ingress issues, and improve thermal performance for the residents.

As the properties were fully occupied, the works required a contractor capable of delivering efficient, safe, and well-coordinated solutions with minimal disruption to residents. In addition to improving building conditions, the project aimed to enhance weather protection, prevent water ingress, and extend the lifecycle of key external elements—ensuring compliance with housing standards and reducing future maintenance costs.

Key Challenges

Working within occupied buildings with live tenant access
Managing safe scaffolding across four separate blocks
Executing roofing upgrades within tight weather windows
Replacing drainage infrastructure without service disruption
Delivering full project efficiency within a fixed budget
Meeting strict health, safety, and housing standards

Scope of Works

Complete roof strip-back and replacement across four blocks
Installation of high-performance structural insulation
Full replacement of rainwater systems
Perimeter scaffolding erection and site safety segregation
Comprehensive quality assurance and regulatory sign-off
General upgrades to improve durability and longevity

Our Structured Approach

Given the live residential environment, our approach prioritised careful planning, phased execution, and clear communication with all stakeholders. We adopted a proactive delivery strategy to ensure works were carried out safely and efficiently while minimising disruption to tenants.

By combining technical expertise with strong site coordination, we were able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, maintain programme timelines, and deliver consistent quality across all four buildings. Our experience in social housing projects enabled us to anticipate challenges and implement practical solutions throughout the project lifecycle.

Pre-Construction & Safety Mobilization

Erected compliant perimeter scaffolding across the four blocks and established secure work zones, alongside resident safety inductions to manage live site access.

Site Preparation & Infrastructure Layout

Safely removed all degraded roofing, failing fascias, and rainwater systems, conducting deck inspections to repair underlying timber rot before upgrading.

Core Delivery & Main Works Execution

Laid new high-performance insulation layers to rectify thermal deficiencies, followed immediately by the application of the primary watertight roofing system.

Technical Systems & Integration Testing

Fitted the new uPVC drainage components, followed by calibrated water testing to ensure correct run-off management and protect the external brickwork.

Quality Assurance & Client Handover

Completed rigorous quality checks across all four blocks to ensure strict compliance before dismantling scaffolding and executing the final project handover.

Project Outcome

The project significantly enhanced the structural integrity and weather resistance of all four apartment buildings. The installation of new roofing systems and modern rainwater drainage solutions has reduced the risk of water ingress and future maintenance issues.In addition to improving durability, the upgraded insulation has contributed to better thermal performance, supporting energy efficiency and improved living conditions for residents. The works were completed within programme timelines and budget, demonstrating our ability to deliver reliable solutions in occupied social housing environments.

Overall, the client now benefits from improved asset value, reduced maintenance requirements, and a more resilient building envelope—reinforcing confidence in long-term property performance.
