Stage Three : Testing We design, construct and facilitate the testing of existing or proposed facade solutions to verify and certify that the proposed remedial solution will pass the relevant building regulations and testing parameters.

Stage Four : Final Specification Errigal consults with the architect and client to provide options and select and specify a suitable replacement cladding material that will meet performance and the aesthetic finish to the facade. Working closely with supply chain to model and fabricate replacement cladding to match the profile and building line of the existing façade. Ensuring quality Quality Assurance procedures are maintained at all stages.

Stage Five : Installation Re-clad works are carried out in a sequenced manner. Isolated areas are ‘stripped’ and reclad in single visits to minimise the building envelope exposure and impact on residents, businesses and general public. Quality assurance inspection and reporting is conducted at each stage to ensure installation is carried out in accordance with the design, specification, testing and quality requirements.

‘Failure of our product is what we all strive to prevent in our industry every day. We have leaned on the expertise within our company over previous years and built a team that will face the challenges and address any deficiencies. Our team can deal with everything from initial inspections & reports, development & testing solutions, logistics & access to final strip & installation. Having no legacy projects in this field has allowed us to approach this with clarity of mind and resolve’ Chris Hodgkinson - Contracts Director
