Render System Replacement

ender System Replacement at KFC Paisley - Delivered With Drive-Thru Fully Operational

Roofing Advisors UK Ltd is currently on site at KFC Paisley, delivering a full external render system replacement for Yum! Restaurants International. The project presented a logistical challenge from the outset — completing a significant package of external works on a live, operational drive-thru site with minimal disruption to the business.

The Scope of Works

Our works at KFC Paisley cover the complete replacement of the existing external render system, including:

  • Removal of the existing render system — stripping back the deteriorated existing finish to prepare the substrate for the new system
  • Installation of Knauf Aquapanel Exterior Render Board — providing a stable, moisture-resistant substrate suitable for external render application
  • Application of K Rend Acrylic Render System — delivering a durable, high-quality finish appropriate to the building's commercial setting

Both Knauf Aquapanel and K Rend are well-regarded, performance-proven products in the external render market. The combination of a reliable render board substrate and a quality acrylic finish system ensures the completed works will perform well and maintain their appearance over the long term.

Keeping the Drive-Thru Open

The defining challenge on this project was not the render system itself — it was the requirement to deliver the works without closing the drive-thru at any point during the programme. For a high-footfall commercial operator like KFC, closing the drive-thru is not simply an inconvenience. It has a direct and immediate impact on revenue and customer experience.

To keep the drive-thru fully operational throughout, our team designed and installed bespoke beam sections within the scaffold structure, allowing vehicles to continue using the lane without interruption while works progressed above and around them. Night shifts were also worked to get the scaffold and key elements in place with minimum disruption to daytime operations.

This kind of problem-solving is central to what we offer on live commercial sites. The technical scope of the works is only part of the challenge — understanding the operational priorities of the client and designing a delivery methodology around them is what separates a contractor who can handle these environments from one who cannot.

The drive-thru stayed open throughout. Not a single session missed.

Live Commercial Sites: Planning Makes the Difference

Projects on operational commercial premises require a level of pre-construction planning that goes well beyond a standard roofing or façade project. Method statements, scaffolding design, shift patterns and client communication all need to be thought through carefully before a single operative sets foot on site.

Roofing Advisors UK Ltd has experience delivering works across live retail, hospitality and commercial environments where operational continuity is a non-negotiable requirement. That experience means we understand what these clients need, and we plan accordingly from day one.
