Skyguard Wins 2023 Award for Detailed Roof at Oxford College

🏆 Award-Winning Roofing Project at Oxford New College – Skyguard’s Masterpiece

At Skyguard Flat Roofing LTD, we take pride in delivering roofing excellence – and in 2023, that excellence was formally recognised.

We’re thrilled to announce that our work on the Quadrangle Roof at Oxford New College earned us the Best Detailed Roof Award 2023, thanks to our innovative use of single ply membrane and custom hexagonal tiling.

🧱 Project Overview: New College, Oxford

This wasn’t just another flat roof – this was a complex, heritage-sensitive roofing project that required precision, creativity, and years of experience.

📍 Project Highlights:

• 📐 Custom-designed hexagonal tile layout
• 🛠️ Award-winning single ply membrane detailing
• 🏛️ Installed within the historic quadrangle of New College
• 🏆 Best Detailed Roof Award 2023 – National Roofing Excellence Awards

🔍 What Made It Special?

This Oxford-based project presented both challenges and opportunities.

We worked closely with architects and conservation officers to maintain the building’s historic aesthetic while delivering a modern, weatherproof, low-maintenance flat roofing system.

The result? A perfect fusion of tradition and innovation — with every hexagon tile meticulously cut, placed, and sealed using high-performance single ply materials.

“It’s one of the most detailed roofs we’ve ever done – and one of the most rewarding.”

🏆 The 2023 Best Detailed Roof Award

We were honoured to receive the Best Detailed Roof Award 2023, recognising:

• Excellence in installation technique
• Innovation in flat roof design
• Attention to architectural heritage
• Use of sustainable materials

This national award not only affirms our commitment to quality but also positions Skyguard as a leading specialist in detailed single ply roofing.

🛠️ Why Single Ply Was the Right Choice

For a project of this scale and precision, single ply membrane was essential:

• ✅ Lightweight & flexible for complex shapes
• ✅ Seam-welded for total waterproofing
• ✅ Long-lasting with minimal maintenance
• ✅ Compatible with detailed tiling like custom hexagons

📍 Skyguard – Trusted for Complex Roofing Projects Nationwide

While we’re proud to serve local areas like Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Swinton, and Kilnhurst, this award-winning job proves we can deliver on high-profile projects nationwide — even in Grade I listed sites like Oxford.
