Client: Bertram Builders
Project: Roofing Works Type: Domestic Location: The Telephone Exchange Liverpool Grove, London Value: £35,000 Supervisor: Shaun Chapman Project Summary |
|
Mercer scaffolding began works at The Telephone Exchange, London in October 2012 due to scheduled roofing repairs. The team were initially contracted by Bertram Builders to erect access scaffolding for one flat. However, more recently the demands of the project have changed leading to scaffolding being added for all flats. Three sides of the building have been covered including a bespoke 3.5 meter wide scaffold on the main side. The top lift was boarded to allow roof terraces to be cleared.
Initially, garden and parking accessibility for the residents presented a challenge to Mercer. On site, supervisor Shaun Chapman led the team effectively, ensuring that there was minimal disturbance to the residents. The team were in need of a vast array of equipment including netting, rubbish chutes and mechanical hoists. Ongoing weekly safety inspections of the scaffolding are carried out by qualified Mercer staff.

Testimonial by Paul Booth, Operations Director at Bertram Builders:
“We have now worked with Mercer for a number of years on many varied jobs, some of which required a high level of expertise and it was for this reason alone that we had no hesitation using their services on this particular project. The job required a significant input from design of the scaffold involving strict compliance with H&S regulations, through to its supply which included regular monitoring and adaptations to accommodate the needs of the Client. In addition, consideration had to be given to the Buildings occupants to ensure that works were carried out with the minimum of inconvenience and which was achieved without exposure to complications. We have always found Mercer to be a pro-active, efficient Contractor who we would highly recommend and look forward to continuing our working relationship with for the future”
