The remediation of St George’s Island, a large residential development in Manchester’s sought-after Castlefield area, represents one of the UK’s most significant Building Safety Fund funded projects. The development consists of five blocks ranging between 8 and 14 storeys. The remediation of the building’s façades and balconies is being spearheaded by Starfish Construction.As the Principal Contractor, Starfish Construction manages all project aspects, including replacing combustible cladding and timber decking to ensure compliance with fire safety standards. During the project planning and design, Starfish Construction identified that a durable, non-combustible balcony decking system aligned with the project’s stringent safety and quality requirements was essential, so they partnered with MyDek for a tailored solution.Working closely with Starfish Construction, we proposed the Luxura A1 fire-rated decking as the ideal solution to replace the existing timber balcony decks. Conversations between both parties focused on achieving a balance between aesthetics, safety, and ease of installation, ensuring that MyDek’s solution would fit seamlessly into Starfish Construction’s objectives and project timeline.Working together, we ensured the installation of a decking system that met all fire safety regulations and supported ongoing works while residents remained in situ."At Starfish Construction, we take great care in system and material selection throughout our projects’ planning and design stages. It’s vital that the systems we integrate not only deliver the necessary safety and durability but also make a significant aesthetic impact on the overall design. The MyDek system and team delivered on all counts." - Joe Hulley, Associate Director (Design & Technical) at Starfish Construction

Superb development with inset balconies and beautiful roof terraces.This prestige development by the riverside in Manchester used the MyDek Vista board on our standard box rail and cleat support system. Renaker and their subcontractor were a pleasure to work with and were keen to ensure that they delivered a first class product and installation to complement the quality of the development.The penthouse terraces on the project had an unusual design in the base construction which meant that the ends of the boards by the balustrade had to be supported by matching aluminium angle rather than a standard joist and pedestal detail. Due this point and to the large construction depth as well as the risk of wind uplift the client opted to select a special coloured aluminium deck board rather than porcelain. We also worked with them to provide a unique way of fixing the boards to allow them to be removed to access abseil points beneath the deck.

A stunning refit of a listed building overlooking Green ParkDevonshire House is a Grade 2 listed gem residing in Mayfair, and we worked with Bain Capital and TP Bennett Architects and their respective contractors on the refurbishment of the fourth-floor offices and their four expansive external terraces. The challenge was to find a decking solution that was fully compliant with the latest Building Safety Regulations while maintaining the aesthetic of this historic London property.MyDek’s Luxura – an A1 fire-rated composite – was chosen for the project as it seamlessly aligned with the building’s aesthetics while delivering a robust, enduring surface for the upgraded outdoor spaces. The roof terraces had a limited loadbearing capacity that could not accommodate concrete paving and Luxura emerged as the ideal solution, allowing for top quality decking that remained well within structural limits.

Set across seven and a half acres and overlooking the Grosvenor Canal, this development boasts contemporary design and beautiful views, with all the benefits of a vibrant city community.The development required remediation work to replace timber decking and handrails which were non-compliant to the latest fire regulations. ALU Installations installed over 1,000sqm of MyDek’s Delta20 system onto the balconies and terraces in the Hirst Court and Hepworth Court buildings. Rated A2 for non-combustibility, this durable aluminium deck board has been designed to provide safety and peace of mind to residents for decades to come."MyDek have been a pleasure to work with on this project. The team have been very reactive throughout our remediation of the Grosvenor Waterside Development, from providing additional materials and technical support where required." - Adam Daniels, Project Director

High-rise riverside apartment building refurbishmentLocated on the banks of the River Thames, Ocean Wharf is a high-rise apartment building that can be subject to salt-water spray during high tide and windy days. Timber decking had previously been fitted on the balconies and had started to deteriorate, as well as being identified as a fire risk by the Fire Risk Assessor.A high-quality decking system was required to replace the existing balcony decking. The chosen solution needed to have a premium look and feel in line with the luxury standard of the development. Luxura, being A1 fire-rated and resistant to salt which could have affected other types of decking, was the ideal choice for this project.As the installer hadn’t installed non-combustible decking before, they required some on-site support from our team who were able to provide a toolbox talk and check ongoing progress. This resulted in a fantastic end result with the installation completed to a very high standard.“The material was completely new to us, so we were a bit hesitant at first. However, now that we have experienced it, we wouldn’t want to use anything else.” - Installer, Ocean Wharf

Superb development with unique balconies and a wonderful roof terraceThis prestige development in the outskirts of thriving Manchester used the MyDek Vista board on our standard box rail and cleat support system. The Vox is an iconic looking development.Located at Cornbrook, a short walk away from Castlefield with its waterside bars and restaurants and convenient access to Deansgate through to the City Centre. You’re also just a quick Metrolink journey, or a canal path stroll, away from MediaCityUK, home to the city’s exciting media-hub and Quayside shopping outlet.Most of the balconies had triangular shaped balconies with multiple faceted angles. This meant that installation called for a lot of unique angled cuts with every board having a different length and mitred end. The installers did an excellent quality job and delivered an outstanding result."Would I recommend MyDek to others? 100% yes! Just through their sheer professionalism towards us and the other trades involved in the project. They helped us out a lot, they’ve been really useful to us…any problems we’ve had on site…they’ve done their very best, they’ve been first there to help us out. We couldn’t really ask any more from them." - Senior Site Manager, Graham Construction

MyDek were instrumental in helping us develop our proposals and implement the same use of the material across the balconies and terraces." - Nick Chamberlain, Senior Design Manager
