Yalding Station in Kent needed full refurbishment after being unmanned for quite some time. Severe damage from weathering, neglected faults and a ‘life expired’ waterproofing system all contributed to degradation, water ingress and timber rot of both the station canopy and entrance roof.
Our survey noted that, the main beam intersections underneath the guttering had rotted away due water ingress. We specified with the client, replacement of the timber supporting structure and box guttering due to severe degradation over many years of neglect. GSM Access also installed a man-safe system, enabling safe maintenance access to the new Flex-R EPDM RubberBond FleeceBack Gutter System.
