Sips Eco Panels is an award-winning Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) home manufacturer in Scotland. The company contacted PIRC for advice for their roof at their headquarters in Glenrothes.

Like many buildings in Scotland, Sips Eco Panels discovered they had Asbestos in their roof. PIRC are experts in dealing with Asbestos and, in this case, were able to provide over-cladding to the existing roof.

This option is cost-effective and minimises time and disruption at the site while providing a safe alternative to removing the Asbestos. This method makes sure that everything is contained and safe for staff and customers. The job at Sips Eco Panels took only two weeks.

Quaker’s has been making great tasting, nutritious food products over 130 years. Many of the brands are household names and in Cupar, Fife, they are a major local employer.

The expert team at PIRC know how important gutters are to a building. If not properly maintained or replaced, they can overflow and cause major leaks to the building.

Services | Roof Overlay

Peter Vardy is a name most people in Scotland know as a reputable car retailer. With many showrooms across Scotland, they specialise in BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, MINI, Vauxhall as well as commercial vans and cars. It’s a name to be trusted.

When buying a new or used car, the first thing a customer expects to see is a polished showroom. First impressions are important and so Peter Vardy called in the expert team at PIRC for a new commercial roof for their Aberdeen showroom.
The old roof was around 20 years old and was at the end of its lifespan. After discussing options with PIRC, they decided to overlay the current roof with a new one. The advantages of overlaying a commercial roof, rather than replacing it completely, means that business can continue as normal in the showroom, it takes less time and is less expensive for the customer.

The car showroom remained completely operational while work was being done and staff could continue as normal and customers were able to browse the cars at their leisure. Now complete, the roof looks brand new and will last many years.

The work took five weeks to complete and the team had also brought in stricter health and safety measures while working during the Covid-19 pandemic. Digital thermometers ensured that all staff were well enough to work, and masks and social distancing are now standard.

The showroom in Aberdeen is now looking polished and professional, exactly the kind of building potential car buyers expect. All thanks to PIRC.
