IT’S TIME TO LOOK UP A rooftop development (RTD) is simply the process of extending pre-existing properties vertically. Carrying out projects such as this are often logistically and technically challenging - that’s why experience counts, something which Kind & Co have in abundance, and to showcase our experience we have produced this brochure. At Kind & Co, we have been working on rooftop developments for many years, with one of our first RTD’s reaching completion in May 2004. Since then, we have completed close to £50m worth of vertical airspace developments using modern construction methods and new building systems and materials. We are confident working at height. Delivering multiple forms of end users’ developments within the residential, commercial, health, and education sectors. This brochure details the RTD’s we have been working on over the last decade. We are proud of our long-standing expertise delivering such projects that provide our clients with a practical solution to maximising their real estate potential and enhancing the capacity of their building to meet the demand for more space. As you will see, at Kind & Co these developments are more than just an extension. We investigate the structural integrity of the whole building and repair and renovate where needed. With over 75 years in the industry, delivering new build, refurbished and extended properties across London and the South East, our team have the necessary skills and experience required to help you look up and build up!

A recent development, at Block M2 St John Street & Friend Street saw the addition of one extra floor and a Welsh slate mansard roof. This Georgian building required a new façade which Kind & Co accomplished after some re-design. We incorporated full stock bricks rather than having brick slips - which were originally proposed. We re-clad the façade and rendered complete with ashlars, railings and lead dormers. It also included the installation of new windows. This RTD created new homes for elder residents, whilst the lower floors remained fully occupied as required by the client. We successfully achieved this to great effect and delivered a quality extension that exceeded the clients original aspirations. 020 8539 6923

Structural propping of existing structure

Completed rear extension with additional floors

In 2015, we completely converted, refurbished and vertically extended an existing four-storey commercial property to create eight high-quality residential apartments for the private market. This involved a two-storey extension placed on a hot-rolled steel grillage, infilled with light gauge steel wall and roof. The commercial units below were completely refurbished for a high-tech end user during the RTD period.

Our project on Kilburn High Road in London saw the addition of two additional residential storeys, which provided an impressive 32 new homes and a courtyard for shared and private ownership (six of the flats for social housing and 14 low-cost flats). This involved a complete remodelling of the ground floor retail units, basement works and the remodelling and reconstruction of the upper floors. A lightweight gauge steel frame was used for the RTD, with the original façade being retained and supported. 020 8539 6923

External staircase to RTD

New balcony

In 2013, our project in Hackney, London, formed a new Sixth Form teaching space and access stairway that was constructed from hot-rolled steel with glazed infill. Despite the restrictive working, as the development is adjacent to a canal and the fact that the RTD was carried out whilst the school was fully operational - with over 900 students and teaching staff at the facility, we were able to vertically extend the existing building with glass and wood finishes and install electronically controlled environment-sensitive lighting.

One of our first RTDs was the Hobday Building, which consisted of a two-storey extension to form new teaching laboratories, office accommodation and roof area. Plus there were extensive M&E alterations and the installation of a new lift shaft and pit. Hot-rolled steel was used and speed deck intermediate floors with a pre-clad insulated external skin and block inner skin for this RTD.
