What happened
AccuRoof, part of SIG Roofing, led a re-roofing project for the Roseberry Community Consortium (RCC) after serious leaks developed at the charity's Stockton-on-Tees facility, according to Roofing Today. An initial inspection found the existing roofing sheets contained asbestos, requiring full removal and replacement. AccuRoof coordinated the effort with SIG Roofing’s Industrial Roofing team, which supplied new roofing sheets free of charge. Roofix Ltd then agreed to donate the labour needed to install the new roof. The project also called for additional detailing, with AccuRoof providing further waterproofing systems for complex wall and junction interfaces. The work concluded with RCC gaining a weatherproof facility at no cost for materials or installation.
The background
Roseberry Community Consortium supports disadvantaged children and young people across the Tees Valley. The organisation’s building had been suffering from worsening roof leaks. AccuRoof’s North-East Specification Manager, Martin Quigley, visited the premises for a roof condition survey in response to the issue. Although liquid waterproofing was initially considered as a short-term fix, the discovery of asbestos in the existing roof sheets altered the project scope, making a full strip-and-replace essential. This presented a major financial obstacle as RCC’s funds prioritise child support programmes.
Faced with these constraints, Quigley involved SIG Roofing’s Industrial Roofing team for donation of surplus roofing materials. Suitable materials were identified in Scotland and delivered to RCC’s site via the SIG Roofing branch in Middlesbrough. AccuRoof managed project coordination, material specification, and technical support throughout the process.
What people are saying
Martin Quigley of AccuRoof described the completed project as an example of manufacturers, suppliers, and contractors collaborating to help a local charity. He said these combined efforts produced a renewed, secure facility that allows RCC to continue its work supporting local young people. The donation of surplus materials from SIG Roofing, along with Roofix Ltd’s voluntary provision of labour, removed significant financial barriers for the charity.
Representatives for the partner firms did not provide additional public comment in the story, but Roofing Today reported that the RCC benefitted from a fully weatherproof roof without incurring normal material or labour costs. The article highlighted the critical role of technical expertise and on-site detailing in bringing the facility back to full working condition.
What happens next
Following completion of the roof replacement, the RCC now continues its activities free from the disruption of roof leaks or the risks associated with asbestos. According to Roofing Today, the new roof was secured by removing the old asbestos sheets, installing new profiles supplied by SIG Roofing, and implementing additional flashings and liquid detailing for long-term protection. AccuRoof concluded its involvement by assisting with the junction and wall waterproofing, while Roofix Ltd handled the installation.
No further refurbishment works were outlined in the reporting. The article suggested that the collaboration provided a blueprint for how industry and charity partnerships can deliver necessary remedial works for under-resourced voluntary sector facilities. AccuRoof, SIG Roofing and Roofix Ltd have not announced plans for similar future initiatives at this time.
