Project Overview

We were appointed to deliver full roofing works on Bridgewater Wharf - a large-scale new-build apartment development in Manchester. The project involved multiple roof areas and required close coordination with the wider site team to manage sequencing and access.

The client needed watertight and durable systems for roofs, terraces and podium decks. We provided high-performance solutions designed to last.

Project Goals

  • Reliable roofing across multiple zones
    The client needed watertight and durable systems for roofs, terraces and podium decks. We provided high-performance solutions designed to last.
  • Smooth coordination on a complex build
    The project required tight integration with other trades to avoid delays. We worked flexibly within the wider programme to keep progress on track.
  • Safe and low-maintenance design
    Long-term safety and ease of access were key priorities. We built in safe working systems and future-ready maintenance solutions.

Key Challenges

Our team worked efficiently and frequently progressed ahead of the overall programme. When follow-on trades weren’t ready, we adapted our sequencing and coordination to maintain momentum and minimise disruption to the roofing works.

Solutions Implemented

Despite scheduling challenges, we remained flexible and delivered the full roofing package to a consistently high standard. The team installed a 5,000m² Bauder Flex bituminous built-up system with integrated tapered insulation and a complete mansafe system. We completed all roofing zones, including the main roof, balconies, podium deck, and winter gardens, while adapting to fluctuating site timings and maintaining quality and programme performance throughout.

Outcome

We delivered a high-spec, long-lasting new build that kept multiple teams engaged across several project phases. The work showcased the our adaptability and reliability throughout a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, while strengthening the client relationship by remaining solutions-focused and responsive to evolving site requirements.

"Safeseal were proactive, reliable, and delivered outstanding results - their ability to stay ahead of schedule and adapt to site changes made them a valued partner on the Bridgewater Wharf project."
