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 has now been appointed to supply and fit circa 2,500sq.m 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, says: “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 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 highly engineered things were 100 plus years ago, yet there is always a way to overcome them. It is all part of the challenge.”

RMD Profiles started As a small works supplier and now supplies and installs structural floor and roof decks with all design capabilities incorporated into residential and commercial projects.

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.
