Royal Albert Hall
Over 400 metres of the Unifold® Gutter lining system was installed on London’s iconic venue, The Royal Albert Hall, throughout the summer of 2023.
The Unifold® Gutter Lining System was chosen for its versatility, unfailing ability to replicate existing systems and its long life.
Survey
& Design
Following a survey by Ampteam personnel, along with Saper Glass Industries Limited, a design solution was provided for the gutters and samples were sent to test fit the Unifold® gutter lining within the gutter cavity, as the throat dimension varied considerably across the profiles.
Manufacturing
& Site Preparation
All runs of the gutter were manufactured to suit the curved nature of the dome which roofs the Hall, and to fit within the minimal throat dimension between the glazing and glazing bars, meaning that bespoke faceted and cranked joint plates were provided so that the new Unifold® lining could follow the profile of the existing gutter.
Full site information was provided including laying sequences, special details and instructions with each delivery of the system.
Installation
& Partnership
Ampteam were partnered by Approved Installer, Saper Glass Industries Limited and Faithorn Farrell Timms as contract administrator, and their input and expertise, along with comprehensive discussions throughout, enabled a successful installation of the Unifold® system.
Testing
& Completion
Following installation of the Unifold® every Unifold® gutter run was water tested by flooding the gutter from the top of the run(s) via hose, with additional assistance from the poor weather, and no leaks were detected in any of the installed gutter runs.

“ I have been actively involved in a wide number of projects since 2003 installing Unifold gutter lining systems for many Clients . In that time , thousands of metres have been successfully fitted to a wide range of Industrial and commercial buildings including Schools ; all to the complete satisfaction of the Building Owners . Unifold, unlike some inferior flexible linings in the market is a bespoke designed system . For this reason, amongst others , I believe it to be far superior in offering the Clients both value and also long term performance and integrity."
