Eastcheap

2 mins

This high-end refurbishment of a City of London commercial block in the shadow of the Walkie Talkie building, included the installation of decking for a roof terrace.

This project involved decking the rooftop of a commercial block in the heart of London’s financial district. The Eastcheap office block, which was being completely refurbished, included a 350 m² previously unused service area on the 9th floor which the owners wanted to convert into a roof terrace intended as a breakout area for staff.

Complexity

The installation was carried out on an inverted roof. The contractor laid down a double layer of our aluminium frame onto heavy-duty adjustable Wallbarn MegaPad pedestals, which provided a stable footing for the framework. They then laid composite Moor Oak boards onto the aluminium frame, simply stamping the boards into position.

Workmanship

Installers were able to achieve a superior, natural finish with clean lines by accurately cutting the boards to fit neatly to edges and corners. It took five men 10 working days to complete the full 350 m² roof deck.
