Ashford Borough Council seeks high quality contractors to reroof council owned houses and bungalows. These works will include the removal of finlock guttering and the installation of new roofline goods (fascia, soffits insulation and rainwater goods).

The works are programmed to be undertaken between August 2017 and January 2018 however the start and end dates stated in this notice are provisional and maybe subject to review.

The successful Contractor must be a current member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC). Tenders from those who are not current NFRC registered will be rejected without further consideration.

Proposed 2017/18 Programme of Works:
Contract 1: ROOF/17/2 29 properties £165,000.00
Contract 2 (follow on): ROOF/17/5 31 properties £155,000.00
Proposed 2018/19 Programme of Works:
75 properties £395,000.00
Proposed 2018/19 Programme of Works:
115 properties £580,000.00

The 2017/18 programme is to be undertaken between August 2017 and January 2018. The start and end dates stated in this notice are proposed only.

The works are in several different parishes that are remote from each other. It is unlikely the welfare facilities will be able to service different work areas simultaneously and thus, will require relocation throughout the contract.

The successful Contractor will be expected to employ multiple gangs to complete the work in one area, before moving on to the next.
