Cladding & Roofing for Aldi Supermarkets Nationwide
case study
Overview
Over a five-year period, we played a crucial role in the construction of new-build Aldi supermarkets across the UK. These projects involved comprehensive cladding and roofing installations, contributing to the modern, sleek, and efficient design of Aldi’s retail spaces.
Our involvement spanned at least 10 Aldi stores nationwide, working under a contractor with an exclusive contract to build these supermarkets. Each project required a high level of precision and expertise, given the variety of cladding systems and architectural designs involved.
Challenges Faced:
1. Complex Cladding Design:
-
Unlike standard commercial builds, Aldi stores feature a blend of different cladding systems, including rainscreen cladding, seamed panels, and architectural detailing.
-
The challenge was ensuring that all elements aligned perfectly to achieve a polished, high-end finish.
2. Full-Scope External Works:
-
The project required more than just cladding and roofing. Our team was responsible for installing windows, steel structures, and gutters, completing the full external envelope of the buildings.
3. Nationwide Coordination:
-
With sites spread across the country, logistics and project scheduling were crucial in ensuring each build stayed on track.
-
Coordinating with different site teams, suppliers, and contractors while maintaining consistent quality was a key challenge.
Work Completed
- Installation of various cladding systems, integrating different materials for an aesthetically modern and durable finish.
- Full roofing installations, ensuring longevity and weather resistance.
- Guttering and drainage systems, designed to manage water runoff efficiently.
- Structural elements, including steel frameworks and window installations.
- Seamless integration of multiple architectural materials, creating Aldi’s signature retail look.
Outcome & Final Delivery
The successful completion of multiple Aldi supermarkets across the UK showcases our expertise in large-scale commercial cladding and roofing projects.
Each store was delivered to a high standard, meeting the retailer’s exacting specifications and modern design requirements. Our ability to integrate complex cladding systems, roofing solutions, and structural elements made these projects a significant success in our portfolio.
These supermarkets continue to serve thousands of customers daily, standing as a testament to the durability, precision, and craftsmanship of our work.
