Walsall Waterfront in the heart of the Black Country is in its second and final phase of regeneration.
This final phase includes the culmination of Kier Property’s redevelopment of 17 acres of previously vacant and derelict land to the north of the town centre. The ultimate element is the construction of two units- one some 570m2, divided into three, and the other a stand-alone 325m2 structure.
Main contractor PPE has employed sub-contractor FCB Roofing to handle the construction of the roofs on both buildings.

Protan SE membrane is certified to deliver, and potentially surpass, the energy efficiency requirements laid down in Approved Document L, and, under the Green Guide, achieve an A+ rating. Protan membranes achieve durability in excess of 30 years, with air leakage controlled in line with latest Building Regulations, and are fully BBA certified.
