RLW Roofing was appointed by Kier Construction to deliver the roofing and cladding package as part of the £30 million project at Dorothy Pattison Hospital in Walsall.

Working within the healthcare sector, the project demanded careful planning, high-performance roofing systems, and robust cladding solutions to ensure the hospital’s facilities remained fully operational and compliant with strict performance standards.

Roofing & Waterproofing

RLW installed a Sika single ply roofing system, incorporating Tata metal decking, tissue-faced insulation, fleece-back Sika Plan membrane, and Sika Plan Decor profiles to give the appearance of a metal standing seam roof. Plant areas were completed using Sika Shield hotmelt roofing, providing durable, long-term protection for service equipment.

A key element of the project was the value engineering approach RLW adopted. Working closely with Kier Construction and other stakeholders, we refined designs and materials to meet requirements without compromising quality or performance.

Cladding & Architectural Metalwork

Cladding works included PPC Alupan rainscreen cladding, incorporating the Nvelope Helping Hand system and FSI fire barriers, with integrated FSI fire protection. Bespoke aluminium cappings, rainwater goods, and bull nose details were fabricated in-house and installed to deliver a precise, consistent, and low-maintenance finish across the facility.
