HIRE OUR CENTRE

Our state-of-the-art specialist roof training centre is just outside Ipswich (IP6 8JP), which is on the A14 and approximately 10 minutes away from the A12. We have free parking on-site. There are several local hotels, such as Holiday Inn, Best Western, Premier Inn, Travelodge, etc., within a 10-15 minute drive.

We can accommodate all types of roof training. We have the likes of Axter, Soprema, Koster, and Roofing Innovations (Sika) who have used our space previously.

Our premises are open from 8:00 am to 4:45 pm (hot works must stop 30 minutes before closing time). The site is fully risk assessed, however, we will ask you for your COSHH sheets, which we’ll keep on-site. Our centre has emergency fire doors, lit walkways, fire alarms, smoke alarms, first aid kits, male/female toilets and is cleaned daily. All trainees must wear safety boots and high vis. All staff are first-aid trained, and there are multiple fire marshals/deputies on-site at any time.

All visitors are required to sign in at our reception before entering the premises, as well as wear a visitors’ badge which must be kept on (and visible) at all times during their visit and returned to reception upon their departure. This allows us to keep our staff and other visitors safe, as during term-time we have under-18s in the building (both apprentices and year 9-11 children).

There are ample training areas within the centre or a large concrete area outside for warmer days. We have work benches to accommodate up to 8 students, along with purpose-built rigs to facilitate:

  • Single Ply
  • Liquid Waterproofing
  • Bituminous Felt
  • Hot Melt
  • Slate & Tile

Our centre has plenty of 110v sockets and one three-phase socket, we also have 110v cables and transformers to accommodate Single Ply heat guns. We also have bottles of gas on-site for torch-on training.

As well as a dedicated training area, you will also be allocated your own upstairs space on our mezzanine, which includes a modern classroom with a TV and whiteboard to deliver your presentations. There is also access to our pool table, table tennis and sofas for your clients to enjoy at break times. With your permission, we’ll feature your photos from your training sessions on our social media pages.

We have a number of manufacturers who set up their banners to promote their products and to make it feel more like home. Disposing of waste is part of the package, so we have recycling bins and a skip for non-recyclable materials. We can provide a cold buffet lunch which consists of filled rolls, jacket potatoes, cake and fruit – your delegates can even choose their own sandwich filling. Tea/coffee is available throughout the day as well as snacks, sweets, and soft drinks.

It doesn’t just have to be training; we have suppliers who wish to promote a type of product or showcase a new product, so they hire our centre and invite their clients (up to 16). This space can also be hired out for other meetings.

Our booking policy is easy; all you have to do is email or call the office, and we will issue you a booking form along with terms and conditions.
