01Start with your building

Pick the building, or the surface the foam goes onto.

Sheffield's factory stock and newer business park units sit alongside specialist work such as the local sheet piling project. Start with the building you manage and what it needs to do.

03Why Sheffield buildings need it

Existing factories alongside newer development

Sheffield’s existing factories sit alongside newer commercial buildings with different construction histories. An insulation specification begins with the fabric of the individual premises and the work it supports. Much of the city's industrial stock predates these newer developments. Sheffield City Council's 2021 Employment Land Review recorded 70% of its B-class units as built before 1970, with 47% of factories dating from before the Second World War.

04How a job runs

Photographs or a survey, a specification, then the application.

The same three stages on every HOLVEM job, in Sheffield or anywhere else. You bring the building and what is bothering you about it; we bring the rest, in this order.

STAGE 01Bring the records and the photographs together

Show the area involved and include known alterations, drawings or condition reports.

STAGE 02Assess before selecting

Moisture checks and the construction inform the recommendation. A required U-value is calculated for the complete build-up, rather than assigned to the foam alone.

STAGE 03Prepare and apply the specification

Roof or soffit work is approached from beneath where specified; specialist surfaces need the access and preparation appropriate to their position.

05Straight answers

The questions Sheffield building owners ask first.

Answered the way the specialist answers them on the call. A question we have not covered? Ask it when we speak. No obligation.

Do you cover commercial insulation enquiries in Sheffield?
Sheffield is covered from HOLVEM's Manchester depot. Tell us about the building's use, the area concerned and any known construction details, especially where the premises have changed over time. Start a project brief.
What work have you carried out in or near Sheffield?
The local example is closed-cell insulation on steel sheet piling within a below-ground retaining structure. Nearby, a Worksop project covers 693 m² of commercial roof undersides across four buildings. Compare the available methods in all applications.
How do you approach an operating Sheffield factory?
Begin with the production layout and the parts of the roof that can be accessed. Underside application may be planned zone by zone where the site permits, with the work sequence considered around the operation. Explore industrial unit and factory insulation.
Does an older Sheffield factory automatically need roof encapsulation?
No. Age does not establish the material, its condition or the treatment it needs. Existing surveys and an assessment of the building should inform the decision before insulation is specified. Explain what is known when you Start a project brief.
When will you contact me about a Sheffield project?
Enquiries received before 3pm on a working day are contacted the same day; after 3pm, the next working day. Known roof details and condition records can accompany your project brief.
Where should I look for Sheffield insulation pricing?
Read the commercial spray foam pricing guide, then describe the construction and scope of your enquiry. Specialist below-ground work and a commercial roof should not be treated as interchangeable specifications.
Can warranty information form part of the project discussion?
25 year HOLVEM workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s 25 year product warranty issued directly to you. Raise the warranty information your owner, designer or facilities team needs when the scope is being considered. We can discuss the proposed cover with the specification before work is commissioned. Add those requirements to Start a project brief.
