RMD Profiles, the metal roof and floor decking specialist, has won a major contract to work on the new London Museum (previously known as the Museum of London.
Following an initial project to help accelerate access to the decking required for the new site at its West Smithfield location, RMD Profiles Ltd has now been appointed to supply and fit circa 2,500square metres of decking.
The RMD team is expected to be onsite in the capital until December 2024.
Matt Cunliffe, who launched the business with his wife Janette in 2009, comments;
‘This is a major win for us at a high profile location on a project that you can’t help but be excited to be a part of. We are working on several areas within the old Smithfield’s site including the Charterhouse lift core, the outer crust, Harts Corner and Clerks House.
‘Naturally, given the history of the site, we keep uncovering little surprises and hurdles as we progress which tend to demonstrate how over-engineered things were 100 plus years ago but there is always a way to overcome them and it is all part of the challenge.’
RMD Profiles has evolved from a small works supplier, to a company that now supplies and installs structural floor and roof decks with all design capabilities incorporated into residential and commercial projects.
‘Our business is pretty evenly split between the residential and commercial markets, explains Matt.
‘We work with a lot of private developers’ projects that require niche solutions, from internal floors and roofs to a recent one where we raised the level of an extensive patio at a private residence in Hertfordshire.
‘However, this year we have already been on site at fire stations, supermarkets, warehouses and a highly prestigious retail space at New Bond Street for Burberry’s new flagship store.’
In late 2022, the Museum of London began the process of relocating from 150 London Wall, announcing a rebrand to the London Museum at the same time.
It is now in the process of creating its new home at West Smithfield in what were dilapidated buildings but now promise to become another major attraction for the city.
