BriggsAmasco has installed a series of roofs – totalling an incredible 4,000m² – at the £175 million Central Saint Giles 12-storey development, one of London’s largest and most eye-catching new construction schemes.

Replacing a dull, brown government building, the new-look Central Saint Giles is a cluster of buildings adorned with bright orange, yellow and green glazed ceramic. Extending this contemporary aesthetic to the roofs, its design incorporates a large sedum roof and two accessible roof terraces and gardens, to encourage informal meeting spaces whilst contributing to the area’s biodiversity.

Since 1996, Edinburgh’s Usher Hall – one of the world’s most outstanding concert venues – has been undergoing a £30 million pound renovation. As the extensive project neared completion, leading waterproofing and roofing specialist, BriggsAmasco, was appointed to install a new roofing system and complete an overhaul of the existing roofs at the landmark building.

Refurbishment began in 1998 with the renewal of electrical systems, installation of new ventilation and heating systems and the repair and redecoration of the auditorium and foyer. Following additional funding of £11 million, Phase II in the venue’s regeneration commenced in 1999 with the upgrading of existing facilities, plus the construction of a new wing, leading to the requirement for new roofs.

Leading waterproofing specialist, BriggsAmasco, has begun resurfacing works at Kings Cross Station, improving platforms and walkways, as part of the station's wider redevelopment programme.

A team of eight BriggsAmasco operatives and managers are carrying out works throughout the night on a shift basis over a three month period. Using a mastic asphalt system laid across concrete floor slabs, platforms one to eight will each benefit from new surfaces, following removal of any existing asphalt.
