Community Centre in Summerhill in Co. Meath

We are a Community Centre in Summerhill in Co. Meath. We had an old double skin asbestos roof on the building, which was not energy efficient to say the least. We had a lot of complaints about the cold in the hall. In 2012 we decided to look into replacing the roof with something more energy efficient and cost effective. As we are a voluntary Committee we find it difficult at times to fundraise. We received a quote from Gravity, which we thought very fair and the most important thing was P J was always at the end of the phone to answer any of our queries. He gave us a timescale of works to start beginning of August 2015. We couldn’t close the Centre completely and also we have a crèche on the grounds which couldn’t close for two weeks so Gravity agreed to do most of the asbestos removal at the weekends. The work was completed to the highest standard within and time frame agreed The grounds outside were kept neat and tidy at all times. Inside the building was hoovered every evening. All the asbestos was wrapped and removed from site each Monday morning. The Health and Safety Authority inspected the site and were happy that al the regulations were being adhered to. When the work was complete we got an independent specialist company to check for any asbestos dust and they found everything in order. Gravity were most helpful and worked long hours to get the job finished. We have found that the insulation & heat retention in the building has greatly improved since the job was completed. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gravity for any work of this nature.
