Roofing Replacement Project
We recently completed a roof replacement project for Widey Court Primary School, for the Connect Academy Trust in Plymouth.
The existing roof covering above two classrooms was lifting and blistered. Samples were taken of the roof, and it was found to have been overcoated at least 7 times creating some of the issues.
The works required removal of the existing roof covering, infilling old roof lights, and installing new insulation. The direction of the drainage was modified to remove the internal downpipe that was often blocked from the adjacent trees. The new arrangement allows easy access to the drain points without needing to gain access onto the roof. A new bitumen felt system was installed with a 25 year manufacturer’s guarantee. The roof edges and fascias were adjusted to the new insulation.
The site has restricted access with no vehicle access. This required alternative hand trucks etc to be utilised. The works were undertaken during term time working around the school operations. Works were completed on time and to a high standard!
