Roof Repairs After a Devastating Fire
A serious appliance fire devastated the upper floor and roof of The Hook in Hampshire. Hi-Tech rebuilt the damaged areas in five weeks while the ground-floor pub remained open.
Recover the building without shutting the business below.
A faulty appliance caused extensive fire damage to the top floor and roof, requiring a major rebuild.
Hi-Tech provided a structural survey and bill of quantities, then planned a five-week restoration programme around insurer requirements.
The scope sought to retain 60% of rafters, 50% of the plate and 100% of the tiles while rebuilding what could not be saved.
Safe access and salvage were central to the programme.
Fire-damaged material was cleared and a scaffold with a tin roof and crash deck was designed to create a controlled working environment.
The unaffected ground floor remained operational, so the work had to progress safely above an active community pub.
The project was planned around the property, the customer and the operational environment.
The work in context.
Project imagery from the original case-study media set, used throughout the refreshed layout.
Five weeks from fire damage to restored upper floor.
The project achieved the target programme and a 100% health-and-safety score.
The upstairs was rewired, heating pipework replaced and internal finishes reinstated, while the pub continued serving customers below.
