Roof Issues resolved at Masham Court Leeds
Commercial Flat Roofing at Masham Court Leeds
Masham Court in Leeds recently underwent a significant commercial flat roofing refurbishment project, expertly handled by DVC Roofing. The project aimed to replace the aging roof issues with a modern, insulated roof covering to enhance energy efficiency, ensure long-term durability, and improve overall building performance.
Challenges and Flat Roof issues
The existing flat roof at Masham Court had several issues:
- Aging Structure: The old flat roof was deteriorating, leading to leaks and energy inefficiency. Over time, the wear and tear had compromised the roof’s integrity, making immediate refurbishment essential to prevent further damage.
- Insulation Needs: The building required an upgrade to meet current insulation standards. The outdated insulation was insufficient for modern energy conservation needs, necessitating a complete overhaul to achieve better thermal performance.
- Flat Roof Issues: The flat roof design posed specific challenges, including water pooling and drainage problems. Addressing these issues was crucial to prevent long-term damage and ensure the roof’s longevity.
- Minimal Disruption: The refurbishment needed to be completed with minimal disruption to the residents. This required careful planning and execution to ensure that daily activities and residents’ comfort were not adversely affected during the project.
Solution
DVC Roofing approached the project with a comprehensive plan to overcome the flat roof issues:
- Initial Survey: Conducted a thorough roof condition survey to assess the extent of the refurbishment needed. This included identifying specific areas of concern, measuring insulation levels, and evaluating structural integrity to formulate a detailed action plan.
- Material Selection: Chose MOY Waterproofing high-quality roofing material, insulated roofing materials to ensure compliance with modern building regulations. Materials selected included advanced insulation products and durable roofing membranes designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
- Installation: The new commercial flat roofing included a vapour control layer (VCL), flat and tapered PIR insulation, and a durable reinforced bitumen membrane. This multi-layered approach ensured optimal thermal performance and weather resistance.
Implementation
The refurbishment process involved several key steps:
- Scaffolding and Safety Measures: Erected scaffolding around the building to ensure safety and accessibility. Safety protocols were strictly followed to protect both workers and residents throughout the project duration.
- Removal of Old Roof: Carefully removed the old roof covering without causing damage to the underlying structure. This meticulous process involved dismantling and safely disposing of old materials, preparing the base for new installations.
- Installation of New Roof: Installed the new insulated roof covering, ensuring all components were securely fixed and sealed. Each layer was applied with precision, from the vapour control layer to the final membrane, ensuring seamless coverage and protection.
- Quality Assurance: Conducted rigorous quality checks to ensure the new roof met all specified standards. This included thermal imaging to check insulation effectiveness, water tests to ensure waterproofing, and manufacturer assessment to confirm the roof’s durability.
Outcome to resolve roof issues
The project was completed successfully, resulting in:
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The new insulated roof significantly improved the building’s energy efficiency, reducing heating costs. The advanced insulation materials used ensured better heat retention, leading to noticeable reductions in energy consumption.
- Improved Durability: The high-quality materials used ensured a long-lasting, weather-resistant roof. The robust design and superior materials provided enhanced protection against environmental factors such as wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations.
- Resident Satisfaction: The project was completed with minimal disruption, and residents reported high satisfaction with the improvements. Feedback highlighted the increased comfort levels due to better insulation and the aesthetic appeal of the new roofing.
