FACADES

Enriching the face value

The roof of any building is an investment. The more robust and regularly maintained its condition, the greater the return on the investment. In other words, getting it right — right at the start — will help contain ongoing maintenance costs, and minimise the need for remedial intervention.

FACADES

Enriching the face value

From design through to installation, materials selection and preparation, through to quality and regulatory compliance, Everlast has a proven track record of diligence and effectiveness in an extensive range of façade installations.

Great outcomes

Our expert team will work with you to ensure that every consideration and regulation is addressed on every project. We also appreciate that, while safety issues are important in each and every solution, the look, style, and materials of the faced must be entirely in fitting with the environment in which the building sits. Working with Everlast will enable you to achieve your design ambitions to the delight of the communities your projects affect.

Passive Fire Protection

The responsibility for ensuring the installation and regular inspection of Passive Fire Protection (PFP) lies with designers at the moment of inception of a project. Thereafter building owners, managers and occupiers are required to conduct regular fire assessment reviews. Everlast focuses on every area where PFP is a concern; fire-rated board and cladding, cavity barriers, linear gap seals, and core structural elements.

Risk mitigation

The importance of passive fire protection is the principal agenda item for every designer, contractor, building owner, and — more than ever before — occupier. Façade cladding is characterised by high risks and Everlast is dedicated to ensuring that these risks are addressed in every phase of façade provision, regardless of its intended purpose of the building lifecycle phase at which it is introduced or replaced and refurbished.

Facade solutions

Louvres

On a basic level, a Louvre is used for ventilation. Air passes through it but water and other external elements do not. From an architectural perspective, a Louvre can be an integral feature in the look and aesthetics of the building. Everlast helps you get that balance right, between function and form; from high performance (for rooms where machinery functions) to occupier comfort, protection, and delight.

Render

In addition to the specification and installation of rainscreen cladding, Everlast can work with you through to the next stage of the face — its finish. This is the role of thin coat insulated render; both a part of multi facades and for entire facades. We will recommend the optimum rendering products for your purposes and apply within your timeframe. All you’ll need to do is admire the final finish.

Refurb/Reclad

If your project requires a fresh approach to the façade — for renovation or the replacement of damaged structures — Everlast offers a complete service for stripping the old façade back to the frame. This can be a complex process in instances when the as-built drawings are not available. We will survey the as-is structure and create the design, accompanied by appropriate specifications, for the new façade. We underate all demolition, reconfirmation, and replacement.

Rainscreen Cladding

Every building requires robust weatherproofing for protection against external and internal moisture, against cavity ingress from harsh weather elements, and providing longer life for the backing wall. Performance is critical but Everlast makes sure that weather resistance also combines with the visual impact of the cladding. From design to installation (including the steel framing system) we provide solutions bespoke to your requirements; expert installers, sustainable solutions, and peace of mind that, once installed, risks of water/moisture penetration are minimised.

Glazing

As part of works to the full façade, Everlast also carry out the glazed exterior elements where specific attention must be paid to the interface of the cladding and glazing. By using our full envelope service, our clients minimise their costs and streamline the construction process. Our design and install team coordinate the design and installation through to completion working closely with our approved supply chain.

What our customers have to say…

I’ve worked with Everlast for the last 15 years on several projects but in particular at Manchester Arndale. Everlast have undertaken a significant number of projects for us from ah hoc repairs through to complex over roofing / roof replacement projects with values of over £1.5M. I’ve always found Everlast to be very competent, works are always completed to an excellent standard, on time and to budget and we regularly have very positive client feedback. I would happy recommend Everlast to others and look forward to working with them on future projects.

Robert Critchley, Director - Building Consultancy, JLL

I have been working with Everlast for circa 20 years, on a wide range of projects across numerous sectors. This includes large shopping centres, retail parks, logistic units and offices. I’ve always found they approach a scheme with a ‘can do attitude’, and of equal importance in a professional and competent manner. I enjoy working with them and often collaborate due to their market leading knowledge.

Jonathan Wiedemann, Head of Building Consultancy – North JLL

Everlast have taken the role of Principal Contractor on a number of key projects for Jones Hargreaves clients since we set up our business in 2009. This has included large scale re-roofing and cladding projects for the Duchy of Lancaster, Towngate Plc and large pension funds but also smaller scale roofing projects for local and private clients. Procurement routes have included single and two stage tendering and negotiation depending on the client’s requirements.

We consistently find that working with Everlast is a positive experience for us and for our clients and their tenants. It is clear that a lot of effort and skill is put into the pre-construction phases where detailed design, planning and, crucially, health and safety matters are fully considered and given the time to ensure that the project begins and runs smoothly. There are, as with any project, times when things don’t go to plan on site but we continue to be impressed by how such issues are taken care of by senior management and site teams.

It is almost always the case that our clients and their tenants have very positive things to say about Everlast and their people once a project has been completed successfully.
