Many emergency modular units have been fast tracked throughout April in response to the dramatic surge in Covid-19 admissions and the requirement for additional isolation areas and specialist wards to keep infection rates as low as possible.

Permaroof was approached to supply its Firestone RubberGard EPDM roofing system to four different modular projects – including one at Chesterfield Royal.

“Each project we’ve supplied is of the upmost importance at this crucial time in the crisis and there has been a real sense of community with each company we’ve worked with over recent weeks.

“We have only recently started to work on larger commercial projects, so this was a test of the systems, processes and services that we’ve been putting in place over the past year.

“As a small business with nationwide coverage, we’ve tried to see the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity to support our customers in a different way and to further prove ourselves in the commercial sector.

“We’ve certainly accomplished this on these four projects.”
