M&J Group was appointed as the Principal Contractor to carry out a full pitched roof replacement across the three Main Office Blocks at the Thames Valley Police Headquarters. The high-security, multi-phase programme involved complex roof refurbishment works to an occupied and operational police facility.
The scope included removal of all existing roof coverings, design and erection of full perimeter scaffolding, and the supply and installation of a new interlocking concrete tile roofing system, in line with Building Regulations Part L (insulation) and Part F (ventilation).

The project was completed on time, on budget, and with zero disruption to sensitive police operations. The new pitched roofing system delivers:
