Flat Roof Repair for KIER Capital Projects in Cumbria

Commercial Flat Repairs Near Me

We carried out new flat roof repair works for KIER Capital Projects, having gone through a tender process before being appointed in April 2017. DVC Roofing was KIER’s preferred sub-contractor, having worked on live schools under KIER’s strict procedures.

The flat roof repair was predominantly completed during term time, which presented unique challenges as the school was fully occupied. Ensuring the safety of students and staff was our top priority. DVC worked closely with the Head Teacher, the Local Authority, and their consultants to deliver a design guaranteed to last for 20 years, on time and within budget. This required meticulous planning and flexible scheduling to minimise disruption to the school’s daily activities.

In addition, the project had to contend with the unpredictable British weather. Working on an exposed roof left us vulnerable to rain and wind, which could have delayed progress and affected the quality of the flat roof repair installation. However, with careful monitoring of weather forecasts and having contingency plans in place, we managed to keep the project on schedule without compromising on safety or quality.

A key aspect of the flat roof repair was the enhancement of the school’s insulation. By utilising high-quality insulation materials, we were able to significantly improve the building’s thermal performance. The new insulation materials have excellent U-values, which measure the rate of heat transfer through the roof. Lower U-values indicate better insulation, meaning the building retains heat more effectively and requires less energy for heating. This improvement translates to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint for the school.

The outcome is that the insulation of the primary school has improved, and heating costs have reduced for many years to come. This is another quality IKO Mach One Roof installation for Cumbria County Council at Thursby Primary School, showcasing the benefits of a well-executed flat roof repair project.
