Roof Repairs After Devastating Fire

The Hook, a privately run pub in Hampshire, serves as a community hub, offering fantastic food and a friendly atmosphere. When that atmosphere was threatened by unexpected fire damage, we were called in to help.

The Hook, a privately run pub in Hampshire, serves as a community hub, offering fantastic food and a friendly atmosphere. When that atmosphere was threatened by unexpected fire damage, we were called in to help.

An unfortunate fire caused by a faulty appliance resulted in extensive damage to the top floor and roof, necessitating a complete rebuild. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the impact on the pub’s infrastructure was significant.  

On a Time Crunch

Hi-Tech initially provided a structural survey and bill of quantities to facilitate the restoration of this beloved pub. The project aimed to restore the pub to its former glory within a challenging five-week timeframe. The specific tasks included retaining 60% of the rafters, 50% of the plate, and 100% of the tiles. Luckily, the ground floor was unharmed and deemed safe, so remained operational throughout the restoration. In this case as with all others, strict adherence to health and safety standards was essential.  

The tight schedule and complex nature of the roof repairs required meticulous planning and execution. This involved cleaning and clearing the fire damage, designing, and constructing scaffolding with a tin roof and crash deck to ensure safe working conditions. Additionally, meeting the insurer’s requirements was a critical aspect of the project.

Above and Beyond

Despite the inherent challenges of refurbishing a fire-damaged building, the project was completed successfully within the five-week timeframe. The team achieved a 100% score on health and safety, retained all necessary elements of the roof construction as required by the insurer, and reinstalled them. The entire upstairs was rewired, all heating pipework was replaced, and internal finishes were completed to the client’s specifications.

Throughout the restoration process, the pub remained operational, serving the community without interruption. The successful completion of this project, achieved through the hard work and dedication of Hi-Tech’s in-house trades, not only restored the pub but also reinforced its role as a cherished community hub.
