Block D – Walton le Dale Arts College and High School, Lancashire

The college roof had a bitumastic, mineralised membrane that had failed and was allowing water into the building. There were numerous areas of failure including open seams and splits around areas of detail. The college had attempted spot repairs but the roof had reached the point where further patch repairs were no longer an option. Gables offered the solution to overhaul and prepare the main flat roof area and apply a new 20 year waterproofing membrane directly over the prepared existing roof membrane, negating the need for disruptive and costly removal and replacement. The school also took the opportunity to replace 91 Georgian wire rooflights in order to meet current health and safety regulations. All works were finished on time and within budget within the 6 week summer holidays. A single point 20 year guarantee was given on completion of works.
