Future-Proof Roof Terrace Upgrade for Retirement Living Development, Suffolk

 This project focused on upgrading a roof terrace for the UK’s leading retirement living developer. Their communities prioritise comfort, safety, and independence, so restoring the terrace to a reliable, high-quality standard was essential for residents’ long-term wellbeing.

Situation

During routine checks, concerns emerged about the terrace decking’s condition. A full inspection confirmed significant deterioration, with the existing structure failing across multiple areas. Repair wasn’t viable, and a long-term, future-proof solution was needed to maintain safety and asset value.

The Solution

We advised a complete replacement and sourced a premium aluminium decking system known for strength, safety, and minimal maintenance. With a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 60-year minimum life expectancy, it offered exceptional value. This modern system delivered the durability the client needed while elevating the look and usability of the terrace.

The Outcome

The client invested with certainty, knowing the development in Hunstanton, Norfolk would benefit from long-lasting protection. The new decking strengthens the building’s integrity, improves safety for residents, and provides a resilient outdoor space designed to perform for decades.
