Insulate and overclad
St Peter’s School
Replacement of the Roche building’s asbestos roof with a safer, more energy-efficient solution.
Education
Insulated built-up metal system
Overcladding
What was the job?
TRS replaced the school asbestos roof of the Roche building at St Peter’s School, Gloucestershire, and upgraded it with a safer and much more energy-efficient solution.
We were required to swiftly improve the roof’s thermal performance, therefore we proposed to overclad the existing structure with Garland’s R-Mer Clad Metal Roof System. The system is very suitable for re-cladding and combines watertight integrity, aesthetic versatility and meets a wide range of functional and aesthetic requirements.
This solution enabled the existing asbestos sheets to remain in place as work proceeded, allowing the new insulation to be installed quickly and effectively. This meant the roof was delivered on time, and ready for pupils to start the new autumn term.
As the project was carried out over the summer holiday period, the TRS roofing teams had a tight time schedule to follow and there were other site-specific challenges, too, such as working on and over a fragile bonded-asbestos roof.
However, the result was a transformation with improved looks and a safer working environment for staff and students alike.
Mission
To replace the school asbestos roof for an energy-efficient alternative. To fully insulate, supply and fit a metal roof covering, as well as renew the roof lighting.
Challenge
Working on and over a fragile bonded-asbestos roof on a building in partial use with a tight time schedule.
Result
The finish had high aesthetic value and provided an improved working environment for staff and students.
