Waddon Road, Croydon
Installing InstaFibre Rockwool Retrofit System in a block of flats
Project Highlights
InstaGroup was contracted to add Retrofit Barrier to flats located in Waddon Road, Croydon. The task was to complete a ‘full fill’ of InstaFibre Rockwool Retrofit Barrier to the cavity void for safety in the building. This lessens the risk in flats where there is an untreated cavity void left after construction.

InstaGroup have been a brilliant contractor; their expertise on Retrofit Barrier was invaluable in guiding our success on this project. By working with InstaGroup we were able to save time and money while there was as little disruption as possible for tenants. We are delighted to continue building our relationship and are excited to see the partnership develop further.

Key Benefits
-
Saves TimeInstaGroup’s retrofit barrier solution will save both time and money for the client. The alternative would be to remove the entire front façade of the building to carry out remedial work to insulate or incapsulate the cavity construction. -
Reduces DistruptionChoosing InstaGroup for the retrofit installation has taken years off the potential duration of programme, and significantly cut costs. Tenants and residents are also able to continue living in their homes whilst work is carried out, making further financial savings while minimising disruption to lives -
Builds TrustInstaGroup has built a good working relationship with Wates Construction, who are very pleased with the delivery of our work and the standards set. We have since worked on several other Retrofit barrier projects with them.
This project was well organised and co-ordinated by the main contractor, with an emphasis on reassurance for the flats’ tenants and owners. InstaGroup can provide a high level of professionalism and trusted capability on works such as this, backed by on-site monitoring and dedicated support from our technical team.
