RLW Roofing was appointed by BAM Construction to deliver specialist roofing works as part of the transformation of the historic Banana Warehouse in Digbeth into the new MasterChef Studios — a flagship development within the wider Warwick Bar regeneration scheme.

The project sees the conversion of an industrial building into a state-of-the-art production facility that will host the internationally recognised TV format MasterChef. As the first phase of a 20-acre masterplan, the development will contribute to the delivery of over 900 new homes and support approximately 750 local jobs, acting as a catalyst for continued investment in the area.

Roofing Works

RLW installed a Euroclad Vieo built-up acoustic roof system, selected to meet the acoustic performance requirements of a live television production environment. The system provides robust weather protection while supporting the internal technical demands of a modern studio facility.
In addition, a Sika single ply roofing system was installed to deliver a durable, high-performance waterproofing solution.

A key aspect of the project involved the refurbishment and retention of the existing canopy. Working within the constraints of a historic structure required a measured and coordinated approach to preserve the building’s character, while integrating modern roofing systems to meet current performance standards.
Through careful planning and collaboration, RLW delivered a project that supports both the technical requirements of the facility and the regeneration ambitions of the wider scheme.
