The requirement is to repair and waterproof an existing failed pitched metal roof using a cold-applied, reinforced Kemperol liquid roofing system. Work includes roof surveys, preparation and treatment of fixings and corrosion, gutter lining, parapet upstands, waterproofing beneath coping stones, and associated sealing and making good. Coping stones are to be removed and reinstated, with damaged units replaced to match. The scope also covers localised high-level masonry remedials, including repointing and replacement of perished bricks with lime-based mortar to match the nineteenth-century building fabric. The high-profile public building will remain fully operational throughout the works in a constrained town-centre setting. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The estimated value is £175,000, with one lot covering the full requirement. The tender submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 17:00. The planned award process began on 29 September 2026 at 15:00, with bids opened at Civic Hall, Market Street, Nantwich, and the contract is scheduled to start on 26 October 2026. Bids must remain valid until 31 March 2027 at 23:59. The contract has no stated end date and may be extended to reflect weather conditions. Evaluation is based on price at 60%, quality and service at 30%, and sustainability at 10%. Electronic catalogues are required; variants are allowed, and submissions may be electronic or written. This opportunity suits roofing and building-envelope contractors experienced in liquid-applied waterproofing to metal roofs, gutters, parapets and complex junctions. The specified system is Kemperol V 210 M with Kemperol fleece and compatible primers and components, so bidders should be able to install the system in line with manufacturer requirements and British Standards. The work also requires high-level masonry skills, including careful repointing, matching or sourcing reclaimed or handmade bricks, lime-based mortar work, approved sample areas and protection of historic fabric. Contractors need capacity to work safely on a pitched roof using harnesses and edge protection while keeping the market hall operational. Staff names and qualifications must be provided, and the roofing installation must support a minimum 20-year guarantee against water ingress. ## Notice THE WORKS INVOLVE THE APPLICATION OF A COLD-APPLIED LIQUID ROOFING SYSTEM TO THE EXISTING FAILED METAL PITCHED ROOF.

PROJECT SPECIFICATION: UPPER LEVEL MASONRY REMEDIALS 1. SCOPE OF WORK THE WORKS COMPRISE THE LOCALIZED REPOINTING AND BRICK REPLACEMENT TO THE HIGH-LEVEL PARAPET, PEDIMENT, AND ASSOCIATED TRIANGULAR AND HORIZONTAL GABLES. THIS INCLUDES: CAREFUL REMOVAL OF FAILED OR NON-BREATHABLE (CEMENTITIOUS) MORTAR. REPLACEMENT OF PERISHED OR "BLOWN" BRICKS TO MATCH THE EXISTING BOND AND CHARACTER. APPLICATION OF NEW LIME-BASED MORTAR TO THE HIGH-LEVEL ELEVATIONS. 2. MATERIALS AND MATCHING BRICKS: ANY REPLACEMENT UNITS MUST MATCH THE EXISTING IN DIMENSIONS, COLOR, TEXTURE, AND COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH. GIVEN THE "PERISHED" NATURE MENTIONED, RECLAIMED OR HANDMADE BRICKS SHOULD BE SOURCED TO ENSURE A SEAMLESS BLEND WITH THE 19TH-CENTURY FABRIC. MORTAR MIX: A NATURAL HYDRAULIC LIME (NHL 3.5) MIX IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW FOR MOISTURE MOVEMENT AND BREATHABILITY. RATIO: TYPICALLY 1:2.5 OR 1:3 (LIME:AGGREGATE). AGGREGATE: WELL-GRADED SHARP SAND, COLOR-MATCHED TO THE EXISTING WEATHERED JOINTS. SAMPLES: A 1M2 SAMPLE AREA OF REPOINTING AND A SAMPLE OF REPLACEMENT BRICKS MUST BE APPROVED ON-SITE BEFORE FULL COMMENCEMENT. 3. PREPARATION AND EXECUTION RAKING OUT: JOINTS MUST BE RAKED OUT MANUALLY OR USING SPECIALIZED OSCILLATING TOOLS TO A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 20MM (OR TWICE THE JOINT WIDTH). STRICTLY NO USE OF ANGLE GRINDERS, WHICH RISK DAMAGING THE BRICK ARRISES. CLEANING: JOINTS MUST BE BRUSHED CLEAN AND PRE-WETTED WITH DEIONIZED WATER TO PREVENT THE MASONRY FROM "SUCKING" MOISTURE OUT OF THE NEW MORTAR TOO QUICKLY. LAYING & POINTING: * NEW BRICKS MUST BE LAID TO MATCH THE EXISTING FLEMISH OR ENGLISH BOND (AS APPLICABLE TO THE SPECIFIC SECTION). MORTAR SHOULD BE FIRMLY "IRONED" INTO THE JOINTS. FINISH: A "RECESSED" OR "FLUSH" FINISH (TO BE CONFIRMED BY SAMPLE) THAT IS LIGHTLY BRUSHED BACK AS IT REACHES ITS INITIAL SET TO EXPOSE THE AGGREGATE AND AVOID A "FATTY" LIME FINISH. Options: The term can be extended in line with the weather conditions for the time of year. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079664-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £175,000 | | Lots value | £175,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Nantwich Town Council | | Locality | NANTWICH | | Postcode area | Crewe | | Postcode | CW5 5DG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Nantwich North and West | | Westminster constituency | Crewe and Nantwich | | Delivery location | TLD6 Cheshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45261900 - Roof repair and maintenance work ## Release History - 20 Aug 2026 at 17:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079664-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nantwichtowncouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
