On Wednesday we were delighted to welcome back Caroline Gumble (Dr), the CEO of the CIOB to our site at Skinners’ Hall alongside other members of the London Hub. Caroline was shown around by our assistant site manager Callum Collis, resident tour guide and emerging heritage expert! Caroline previously visited Skinners’ Hall at the end of 2022 and since then works have significantly progressed with key phases of the works being in preparation for handover to our client! Caroline said ‘ I love the details, the limestone cantilevered staircase, the bespoke fine sand lime plaster, the use of every type of brick bond and pennyrolling for the mortar. I applaud the Rooff team who’ve worked on Skinners’ Hall for their client-focussed approach and their emphasis on delivering a high-quality project for this unique building. I hope to visit again next year to see it once it’s complete – it will be spectacular.’ We look forward to inviting Caroline and the team back during once the Skinners’ Hall project is complete.

An energising start for day 2 of meetings with members based in London & the South East. This morning I joined the London Hub’s University Breakfast Meeting, with built environment academics, some of our Tomorrows’ Leaders and other members from the region. It was excellently chaired by Anjali Pindoria, who outlined activities to deliver site visits and other quality learning opportunities for built environment students. We also heard from Antonia Lanyiova Bsc (Hons) Open ( Open), CIOB’s Qualifications Liaison Manager, who gave a great presentation on CIOB’s strategic engagement model, which supports development of our relationships with built environment academics and institutions running construction-related courses. I was delighted to attend, as this meeting and the activities discussed help to strengthen the important links between academia and industry. This afternoon I was privileged to be invited by Rooff back to Skinners’ Hall and see progress on the refurbishment of this Grade I listed livery hall. It was lovely to see Steve Drury, MBA, FCIOB again and to meet Callum Collis and have a guided tour around this extraordinary building. My last visit, in 2022, introduced me to some of the complexities and challenges of the project. It was fascinating to see how so many of them have been overcome and, at last, to see some of the #heritage aspects of the work being unveiled – I love the details, the limestone cantilevered staircase, the bespoke fine sand lime plaster, the use of every type of brick bond and pennyrolling for the mortar. I applaud the Roof team who’ve worked on Skinners’ Hall for their client-focussed approach and their emphasis on delivering a high-quality project for this unique building. I hope to visit again next year to see it once it’s complete – it will be spectacular. Thanks again to everyone who came along this morning and to the Rooff team this afternoon and to all the support from London Hub members – always great to get insights from members, academics and industry practitioners. #BuiltEnvironment #construction #LoveConstruction #heritage #conservation #ConstructionManagement
Rooff’s Long Tradition in Building – 20th Century Focus Throughout April, we have delved into Rooff’s historical project archive dating back to the 1960’s and 1970’s, which revealed an interesting mix of post-war modernist design across social housing and community infrastructure projects. See our website post here: https://lnkd.in/e6yvPebc
Rooff Historical Project Archive – A tradition in building Case Study 3 – Spey Street, Teviot Street, Abbot Road and Brunswick Road, Poplar, E14 Built in the mid 1970’s, this social housing development of 631 homes located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, was completed in two phases and comprises of linked blocks of flats and maisonettes. Original project architects were Shepheard Epstein & Hunter, who Rooff have continued to work with over the last 50 years with the latest collaboration being the recently completed Community Land Trust and Self Build scheme for RUSS in Lewisham - Church Grove, Ladywell. https://lnkd.in/eSbS_mVV . .

Rooff Historical Project Archive – A tradition in building Case Study 2 – Warltersville Road, Hornsey, N19 Built for the London Borough of Islington in the mid 1970’s, these apartments have stood the test of time and represent a period of original modernist architecture still influencing contemporary residential designs today.
