Flat Roof Renewal & External Maintenance to:
Wimbledon Hall
Derby Road,
Bournemouth,
BH1 3PP
Aster Group Limited 2017

Location
Wimbledon Hall, Derby Road, Bournemouth BH1 3PP NB: The flat blocks should be considered tenanted throughout the course of the works.
Scope of Works – Phase 1
1. Scaffolding
The Principle Contractor will arrange for designed scaffolding with suitable netting attached when and where necessary, this must enable safe, secure and unhindered access to all floor levels, making the site ready to deliver all identified works to both of the flat blocks. To successfully achieve the scope of works, each of the sub-contractors will need to be consulted on their individual requirements. The scaffold shall be designed to suit each programmed work phase, it should only necessitate adjustment once all phases dependent on its lift configuration have been successfully completed, and fully inspected to Aster’s satisfaction. To ensure safe load transfer down from the proposed rear elevation scaffolding, and to reduce the stress onto the rear communal car park flat roofs, the scaffold design will need to incorporate internal propped support to the underside of these roofs. Care must be taken to prevent the smoke vent windows, boiler flues and service vents from being impeded in any way by scaffolding; this will ensure that they operate in the event of an emergency. Once the scaffold has been erected it must be signed off with all necessary certification and regularly inspected using the scaff-tag system. NB: The scaffolding for both blocks will be priced on a fixed fee basis for the duration of the contract.
Skips & waste management Provide skips for the removal of rubbish as necessary including all safety lighting and warning cones.
Allow for waste chutes to be attached to the scaffold, ensure that they are positioned so that they discharge safely into the skips enabling the removal of any unlicensed redundant materials and brick rubble efficiently.

2. Communal Digital TV/Satellite system The Principle Contractor will arrange for a specialist to undertake the following system upgrade: Supply and install an upgraded optical fibre Digital TV and Satellite system, which will need to independently serve both flat blocks. Prior to the roofing contractor undertaking a complete refurbishment of the main roofs, initial preparation will involve the removal and disposal of all the existing surface Digital TV/Satellite cabling and associated redundant services. At present this cabling is wrapped around roof vents and trailing across the main roofs on both of the blocks. The new infrastructure must be fixed in advance of the old being decommissioned to ensure that a temporary service is kept functional during the course of the project. Both residents and leaseholders will need to be consulted regarding the position of new installation socket and the removal of redundant digital TV/Satellite socket/s. The final testing and commissioning of the new digital TV/Satellite system will follow upon the completion of all roofing and external work.
Digital TV & Satellite upgrade to both blocks. Replace the existing system with a separate fibre system per building. NB: There is no signal loss through fibre cable and the increased cost of copper now makes this a viable and flexible system to upgrade to. 1 No. communal power source will be required per block which will be taken from the existing socket in lift room. The new design will ensure that there are no cables on the main flat roof at all. The price should allow for all necessary temporary work required to remove the existing cables from the flat roof during the first phase of works. The system will be compatible with existing Sky, Sky Plus, Sky Q, Freesat, Freesat PVR and Freeview systems. The fibre cables will be fitted in“Kopex” type containment around the top perimeter of the brickwork allowing future access from the flat roof. The boxes that will contain the cables to the flats will be situated around 3 meters above floor level so as to maintain future access without the need for scaffold. However internal access will be required to every flat to enable termination of the fibre and fitting of the internal plate.
4
Twin fibre cable will need to be fitted into each flat to provide some future redundancy and any future developments. NB: The only drawback at present due to high cost is the inability to add any foreign satellite capability alongside the Astra (Sky) sat used at present for Sky. Equipment & materials as follows: 2 x TRI DAP 70cm fibre glass dish 2 x UHF aerial array 2 x V51 – 204 4 in amplifier 2 x Aerial / sat fibre ODU32 kit 2 x GI HF 5m N connectors 4 x 2 Way optical splitters 8 x 16 Way optical splitters 8 x 1m Pre T patch cord 200 x 500m FCPC digital / fusion splice 2500m twin fibre cable 10 x Steel breakout splice box 70 x DSCR GTU’s 70 x 45mm Pattresses 70 x TV / FM / Sat / Sat 2 plates 200 F Compression connectors Fibre cable
3. Roofing refurbishment works – Danosa warm & cold roofs The initial phase of the project will involve preparing and priming the existing roof system, this will then form a suitable vapour control layer ready for additional insulation to cover the main concrete constructed flat roofs making up Wimbledon Hall’s two blocks numbered 1 – 35 & 36 – 70. The main roof decks will need to be re-engineered to form a full perimeter parapet complete with 50mm water check, new insulation will be added to improve the thermal performance and the drainage falls will need adjustment in preparation to receive a Danosa reinforced bitumen membrane upgrade. Upper and lower level roofing work will include replacing the flat roofs covering the lift motor rooms, lower level front entrance porches, and recessed areas under the smoke release windows, both front and rear car park roofs and the communal bin store. All new “Code 4” lead cover flashings shall be cut and dressed neatly and accurately. To provide fully waterproof coverings/flashings shall be free from ripples, kinks, buckling and cracks. Ensure that finished lead-work is fully supported, adequately fixed to resist wind uplift and accommodate thermal movement without distortion and stress. An application of patination oil shall be applied to all visible lead-work upon finishing. The communal bin store will require a new white uPVC fascia, guttering and downpipe with rainwater shoe, including fixtures to match existing.

EXECUTION GENERALLY
500 INSTALLATION GENERALLY Trained Operatives: A minimum of 50% DANOSA UK
registered installers are required on each DANOSA UK installation. Trained operatives are
defined as those which have received a unique installer ID card and number from
DANOSA UK. The card must be valid and allocated to the installers physically working on
the project.
NB: The Principle Contractor will need to keep a daily site record of all Danosa trained site
operatives and their individual card ID to ensure compliance with a registered installation.
510 ADVERSE WEATHER General: Do not lay membrane at temperatures below 5°C or
in wet or damp conditions unless effective temporary cover is provided over the working
area. Unfinished Areas of Roof: Keep dry and protect edges of laid membrane from wind
uplift. Note: Temporary ballast may be required to incomplete areas to protect
incomplete/unrestrained areas from wind uplift.
520 INCOMPLETE WORK End of Working Day: Provide temporary seal to prevent water
infiltration. On Resumption of Work: Cut away tail of membrane from completed area and
remove from roof.
11
530 APPLYING PRIMERS Surface Coverage: Apply continuous even coverage of primer
to surface in accordance with DANOSA UK instructions. Avoid and remove any heavy
pooling. Coats: One, even and full.
555 QUALITY CONTROL / RANDOM TESTING DANOSA UK will at random ask
operatives to remove samples of completed waterproofing as part of our quality control
procedures. The affected area will receive fresh replacement material and the results
recorded in the DANOSA UK ‘Project Inspection Report’.
560 PROTECTION & STORAGE OF MATERIALS Storage: Clean, dry and well ventilated
conditions.
570 TEMPORARY PROTECTION OF ROOF SYSTEM No building work should be carried
out from a completed roof. If following trades are to use the finished roof as a working
platform or access walkway, the responsibility for defining the scope of full temporary
protection must be agreed between relevant parties during the course of building
operations. Paint, plaster and solvents should not come into direct contact with the
completed roof surfacing so adequate protection should be adopted.
580 REPAIRS DURING / AFTER CONSTRUCTION Brush area clean of debris or prime
with bitumen primer. Fresh underlay and mineral cap sheet membrane should extend a
minimum of 100mm past the damage / penetration and accommodate a full 100mm bond.
Adhesion should be ‘black on black’. DANOSA UK recommends full roll width repairs for
the best aesthetics.
SUBSTRATES / VAPOUR CONTROL LAYERS / WARM DECK ROOF INSULATION
610 SUITABILITY OF SUBSTRATES Surfaces to be Covered: Secure, clean, dry, smooth,
free from frost, contaminants, voids and protrusions. Preliminary Work: Complete,
including (where applicable): - Grading to correct falls. - Formation of upstands, kerbs, box
gutters, sumps, grooves, chases and expansion joints. - Fastener of battens. Moisture

decks. Alternatively running diagonally across the roof (or across the corrugation line). End
Edges: Adequately supported. End Joints: Staggered. Attachment: Adhesive bonding
using Thermobond Adhesive. Adhesive Application: 20-40mm beads at 2-300mm centres.
12
Completion: Boards must be in good condition, well-fitting and secure. There should be no
gaps between boards or at abutments.
WATERPROOF MEMBRANES / ACCESSORIES
720 INSTALLING THERMO-ADHERED UNDERLAY MEMBRANE Laying: If applicable,
unroll loose and cut to size. Do not wrinkle or stretch. Setting Out: Where falls apply, unroll
up the slope and install so that water drains over and not into membrane overlaps. All
cross joints should be staggered. In addition, setting out should be planned taking into
consideration the following: - Point of access. - Temporary drainage. - Formation of
effective day / night joints. - Sequencing of other trades. - Minimising waste. Ensure that
the sequence of laying enables temporary sealing of loose membrane edges to be down
the slope and not against the flow of water. Installation: Peel back protective release film
and apply adhesive face onto prepared and primed surface. Bond full over whole surface
ensuring no air pockets. Membrane to be fully bonded in the approved manner and should
be brushed / rolled onto the substrate. Torch-application of subsequent layer will activate
full thermo-adhesive bond to substrate. Sheet Overlaps: Minimum 80mm side laps.
Minimum 100mm head laps. All overlaps should be rolled with an appropriate lap roller.
Surface Condition at Completion: Fully sealed, smooth, weatherproof and free draining.
740 INSTALLING TORCH-APPLIED MINERAL CAP SHEET Laying: If applicable, unroll
loose and cut to size. Do not wrinkle or stretch. Setting Out: Where falls apply, unroll up
the slope and install so that water drains over and not into membrane overlaps. Mineral
cap sheet layer should be laid along same direction as the underlay membrane but in a
staggered position and all cross joints should also be staggered. In addition, setting out
should be planned taking into consideration the following: - Point of access. - Temporary
drainage. - Formation of effective day / night joints. - Sequencing of other trades. -
Minimising waste. Ensure that the sequence of laying enables temporary sealing of loose
membrane edges to be down the slope and not against the flow of water. Installation: Full
torch-bond over whole surface ensuring no air pockets. We recommend that roll bars are
used for the installation to ensure an even application. Membrane to be fully bonded in the
approved manner, confirmed by the presence of a slight bitumen bead at all overlaps. A 5-
10mm bitumen bleed is fully supported by DANOSA UK Technical Department. At head
laps, lightly torch and if necessary remove granules of lower membrane, to ensure ‘black
on black’ adhesion. Sheet Overlaps: Minimum 80mm side laps. Minimum 100mm head
laps. Surface Condition at Completion: Neat with carefully formed junctions. Fully sealed,
smooth, weatherproof and free draining.
760 DETAILING GENERALLY General: Detailing should be in accordance with DANOSA
UK published instructions. Upstands should conform to the requirements of BS 6229.

COMPLETION
905 PROJECT REGISTRATION - The Principle Contractor with register with DANOSA UK
before the project is started, or with first project purchase order. This process allocates the
project to a member of DANOSA UK’s technical team for monitoring and registers the
warranty documentation.
910 INSPECTION Interim and final roof inspections for all roof areas over 100m2 should
be undertaken by DANOSA UK: submit ‘Project Inspection Reports’. Roof areas under
100m2 may be self-certified by registered DANOSA UK installers and must be requested
at the time of project registration.
920 ROOF INTEGRITY TEST Requirement: For all DANOSA UK installations in which a
waterproofing membrane / system will be subsequently be covered (e.g. Green Roof,
Ballasted Roof, Terrace, etc) or at the request of the DANOSA UK’s technical team,
detailed in inspection reports. Testing Authority: The Testing Authority should submit a job
specific method statement prior to commencement which should be appropriate for the
application and weather conditions. Timing of Test: Prior to applying surfacing / finishes to
the roof membrane. Prior to handover. Condition of Roof Covering Prior to Testing:
Complete to stage where integrity can be tested. Surface: Clean and free of site debris.
Breaches Detected: Clean and dry surface to receive fresh membrane as clause 580. Test
Results: Submit on completion of commissioning tests.
Flood testing is generally not recommended because its applications are limited and water
ingress resulting from failure can extend drying periods and could cause internal damage.
940 COMPLETION Roof Areas: Clean. Outlets: Clear. Work Necessary to Provide a
Weather-Tight Finish: Complete.
Storage of Materials on Finished Surface: Not permitted. Completed Membrane: Do not
damage. Protect from traffic and adjacent or high level working.
950 PROTECTION ON COMPLETION All completed works should be protected upon
completion to minimise risks of mechanical damage or contamination. Where possible,
access permits to working areas should be operational and a roof access strategy should
be in place. Defined walkway routes should be clearly marked and protected, and
guidance should be provided to all subsequent trades accessing the completed installation.

External works - Phase 2
4. Re-pointing / jointing & brick replacement summary The second phase of the project will involve investigating mainly the fifth floor level elevation areas, and some lower, localised levels where the pointing is showing evidence of weather erosion; these include the garages and communal bin store. The areas that have been identified at high level, form approximately a 1.000m - 2.000m deep perimeter band from parapet down, this is more pronounced on the rear elevations of the blocks, but there are areas on the other elevations that will require attention, an estimated total area of 240m2 will need investigation and possible attention. As a part of this refurbishment project Aster’s M&E team will be removing any redundant gas fire flues, leaving areas of brickwork in need of repair. Once the overall condition of the pointing has been assessed, the failed areas will need to be raked out to a depth of approximately 20mm and re-pointed using a matching coloured mortar with a hand jointed and pointed finish. All remedial work required to repair the damaged brickwork will need to be matched in using bricks of the same size, style and quality, reinstating the original stretcher bond.
Re-pointing & jointing specification
Cutting out, cleaning and repairing joints:
All cables must be carefully unclipped and kept protected during the preparation work stages. Care should be taken not to cut into pipe-work or conduit or damage the existing brickwork to ensure that remedial works are kept to a minimum. Consideration must be given to protect gas flues and open windows when working close proximity. All joints are to be raked /ground out to a minimum depth of 20mm, where mortar has been washed out and joints are largely empty, the joints must be deep tamped and if required hand grouted to fill the joint to the required depth before re-pointing. NB: Care must be taken with bricks manufactured with frogs, so not to remove too much material and undermine the structural integrity of the wall. If a tamped or hand grouted joint comes closer to the face than 20mm then it must be cut back to the proper depth and a square face prior to pointing. When cutting out areas of past or dense re-pointing, this should be achieved using pointing chisels and toothed masonry chisels with a two & half pound club hammer. Tools
must be narrower than the joint and excessive force must not be used to prevent damaging the brickwork. All cutting out must be left with a squared face at the back of the joint to provide optimum contact with the new mortar.
16
Start of new pointing Prior to re-pointing clean down the face with a soft or stiff bristle brush and thoroughly flush with clean water. Dampen down the wall to control the suction of dry porous brickwork and prevent rapid drying of the mortar, shrinkage and loss of strength. The mortar mix should be a 4:1 ratio - 4 parts sand, 1 part cement and match the existing colour.
Begin pointing from the top and proceed downwards so that the work can be cleaned as it progresses. Press new mortar well into the joints and strike off flush leaving no voids. Avoid letting the mortar encroach over the brick arises and keep it slightly recessed to maintain clean edges.
Removal of mortar on faces If mortar does encroach onto the brick faces, this can be removed by washing and brushing, but if using proprietary cleaner containing acid then the masonry surfaces must be pre-wetted to limit absorption and must be washed down afterwards.
Protection Protect finished work from the sun and the rain until it has had sufficient time to harden. Do not carry out pointing work if there is a risk of frost (5 degrees and below) or very hot weather.
Supervision The contractor must ensure the supervision of pointing includes the following:
Approval of all cutting out and cleaning before re-pointing.
The mortar mix and colour must be approved and a sample of which should be retained for reference during the job.
Approval of all tools being used
Approval of a test area and supervision whilst this is being undertaken Other associated repairs should include removing any weather or structurally damaged bricks, then replacing them with matching size, style and quality bricks. NB: All wet trade work should ensure that a weather tight and tidy finish is achieved that will be expected to last future decades of weathering.

5. Cladding – Trespa Meteon FR (Fire retardant grade) system
NB: This phase of the project must be carried out once all other wet trade work is
completed, the new cladding must remain cover protected until the buildings have
been cleaned of any dust and debris to ensure that it isn’t damaged or covered with
unwanted material.
Car park - pedestrian access doors and cladding
Carefully remove the existing timber panels from the metal framed garage doors, which serve both the front and side of the communal car park. Carefully remove the timber cladding from the galvanised metal framework and timber supporting framework, this is located adjacent to the pedestrian doors and on both sides of the garage roller shutter. Remove any rotten timber making up the supporting framework and replace where necessary using tanalised timber ready for re-cladding using the Trespa Meteon FR panel system. Supply and fix new 8mm Trespa Meteon FR panels to the original galvanised metal & timber framework, including the access door frames, and use corner finishing profiles where needed.
External facade panel cladding refurbishment Located directly below many of the windows of both blocks of flats are Superlux style cement board panels with a factory coated render finish, the panels are difficult to keep clean and will need to be replaced with a Trespa Meteon FR flush faced low maintenance panel system. The panels look to have been originally face fixed and sealed in around the brick reveals, they are mounted on a timber sub frame with mineral wool insulation behind. The original panels, insulation and framework will need to be removed in preparation for the replacement cladding system.
Removal of existing panels, insulation & sarking felt
Remove all of the face fixed Superlux panels located under the windows, sarking felt, and mineral wool insulation including their timber structural supporting sub framework. Carefully remove all evidence of previous applied heavy duty weather sealant from the panel apertures, this will be done using proprietary brick cleaning agents to ensure the cleaning process is successful and doesn’t risk damaging or discolouring the face of the bricks and pointing. NB: The prepared substrate must be devoid of any contamination or damage to ensure that the finished installation of the new Trespa Meteon FR panel cladding system is perfectly presented.
18
Trespa Meteon FR (Fire retardant grade) Exterior Panel system
Supply and install new 8mm Trespa Meteon FR (Fire retardant grade) low maintenance exterior panel system supported on a new treated timber framework and insulated using a
75mm thick Rockwall Rainscreen Duo Slab Non-combustible thermal Insulation with a Tyvek UV façade roll underlay for weather protection. The contractor will need to confirm the individual aperture dimensions, and all new replacement panels must be factory cut to fit the openings replacing the original Superlux panels.
The Trespa Meteon FR (Fire retardant grade) Exterior panel system must be fitted to the requirements of the manufacturer’s instructions as outlined in their TS150 Timber frame fixing guide and supplied CAD drawings. The Rockwall Rainscreen Duo Slab must be fitted to the requirements of the manufacturer’s instructions as outlined in their Rainscreen cladding Timber rail application guide. Intumescent fire barriers must be supplied and fixed to all panel cavity entry and exit points to prevent the possible spread of flame in the event of a fire.
NB: The colour of the new Trespa panels will need to be agreed with Aster Group
prior to installation.
6. Cavity wall insulation
NB: This phase will be delivered by Dyson Energy Services Ltd and managed by the
Principle Contractor. This phase of the project will require the following: Further to an independent specialist site survey employed to investigate the condition of the existing cavity wall insulation it was deemed to have lost its cohesion evidencing areas of void space, which have created cold spots affecting some of the internal flat walls and their thermal performance.
A cavity wall insulation specialist to extract the existing cavity wall insulation from both of the flat blocks including a full cavity clearance and camera check with a report containing photographic evidence prior to being refilled.
Supply and installation of a new PVA bonded “zero dew point” platinum poly bead system or equivalent product to all elevations.
On completion of the work, the specialist contractor should undertake a thermal camera survey of all elevations of both blocks with a detailed report illustrating that the new cavity insulation improvements have successfully brought the energy performance rating up to current standards.
This work must be certificated under CIGA with insurance backed guarantee and make use of any grant finance available to this scheme.
19
Site preparation The installing technician must ensure that the property has been correctly assessed and is suitable for cavity wall insulation. Any problems encountered during drilling process which prevent compliance with the CWI Certificate are to be reported back to the Contracts Surveyor immediately. Essential ventilation openings providing combustion air or under floor ventilation, and all flues in the cavity wall must be checked. If adequate sleeving or other cavity closures are not present, installation must not proceed until these openings have been sleeved or otherwise modified to prevent blockage by the new cavity wall insulation. All uncapped cavity walls should be sealed prior to installation.
General
The product is installed using an approved system either based on compressed air delivery or electric fan delivery system. The installation company provides all necessary hoses, drilling tools, equipment and materials for making good the walls after the installation.
Procedure
Holes of 22 mm or 26 mm diameter are drilled between bricks at the junction of the horizontal and vertical mortar joints. Sufficient injection holes must be drilled to ensure that the cavity will be completely filled without voids. The holes are normally spaced not more than 600 mm horizontally apart and the top row of holes in each wall is not more than 200 mm from the top of the wall. A similar series of holes is drilled below windows and obstructions. Alternatively, a series of holes is drilled approximately 600 mm horizontally apart and 200 mm above the highest ceiling level. Additional holes should be drilled between windows, doors and other obstacles where necessary. It is important to ensure flues are not obstructed by the installation of the product, the correct functioning of these should be checked once the installation is complete. To prevent debris falling onto the insulation, installation should not start until the drilling has been completed on each elevation. Installation should be conducted in accordance with the drilling pattern and should take place from the lowest injection holes up, with the product installed into the upper holes only after all of the lower holes have been filled. Care should be taken to ensure any holes drilled in the upper floor do not correspond with intermediate timber floors or that the insulation does not fill into the roof space. Any insulation that has been blown through the top of the cavity into the loft space should be removed and any points of leakage sealed. After injection of the product, the drill holes are fully filled with a mortar mix of a similar colour, texture and weather-tightness as the existing mortar. Where a wall requires a high degree of colour matching, the level of finish matching should be agreed in writing during the survey. All the trunked air vents are checked, e.g., those providing under floor ventilation and combustion air for heating appliances. In all cases flues are carefully
20
checked on completion of the installation by means of an appropriate test (e.g., a smoke test) to ensure that they are not obstructed by the insulation. In some circumstances access for drilling injection holes and filling with insulation may be limited by features for example carports, conservatories, cladding or tiling. The practicability of safely accessing and making good these areas, or installing the insulation through the inner leaf, may outweigh the benefits of insulating these areas. In such situations, the surveyor should explain that heat loss through un-insulated areas will not be reduced and they will also be subject to a slightly higher risk of condensation. The assessor, therefore, should obtain written consent for omitting any areas of the wall from the party commissioning the work.
7. External decoration All redecoration work must be fully weather resistant and presented with an aesthetically pleasing finish. The external decoration to be addressed will include both blocks and their communal areas, which are as follows: NB: Careful cleaning and preparation must be carried out to all component areas identified below.
