Orchard is excited to announce the completion of a major refurbishment project at St Johns Court, a prominent industrial estate in Ashford. Spanning an impressive 110,210 square feet and encompassing units 1-11, the project aimed to transform the site into a state-of-the-art facility that blends enhanced functionality with improved aesthetic appeal.

This ambitious project reflects Orchard’s ongoing commitment to delivering sustainable, efficient, and high-quality building solutions tailored to meet modern standards.

Comprehensive Upgrades and Key Improvements

The refurbishment at St Johns Court has introduced a range of innovative features designed to enhance the property’s performance and create a more productive and appealing environment for tenants:

• Installation of New Roof Lights:
  To improve energy efficiency and provide a more comfortable workspace, new roof lights have been installed across all units. By maximizing natural daylight, these roof lights reduce the need for artificial lighting and create a brighter, more pleasant working environment.

• Specialized Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment:
  The roofing underwent a specialized cut edge corrosion treatment to protect against wear and tear at the edges of the roof sheets. This preventive measure ensures the structural integrity of the roof is maintained and extends its lifespan, offering tenants greater peace of mind.

• 25-Year Coating System for Long-Term Roof Protection:
  The entire roof has been treated with a 25-year advanced coating system. This state-of-the-art solution offers exceptional resistance to environmental elements, including rain, wind, and UV exposure. The coating not only protects against damage but also reduces the need for maintenance over time.

• Gutter Upgrades with a 25-Year Plygene Liner System:
  All gutters at St Johns Court have been upgraded with the Plygene liner system, designed to provide superior leak protection and water management. With a 25-year guarantee, this system ensures effective drainage and helps prevent water damage to the building structure.
