IKO Mach One Commercial Roofing Project Update
Commercial Roofing Project in Progress at Cramlington Learning Village
As trusted commercial roofing contractors, it’s always exciting to see a large-scale commercial flat roofing project start to take shape, especially one as significant as our ongoing refurbishment at Cramlington Learning Village in Northumberland.
This extensive development is being delivered in partnership with Kier Services and includes major roof upgrades across more than 2,000 square metres of the school estate. From initial assessment to installation and sign-off, our aim is to provide a durable, high-performance roofing system that will support the site for decades to come.

Commercial roofing project in progress at Cramlington Learning Village

The first IKO Mach One roof of the commercial project on Cramlington Learning Village is now complete.
Project Overview: A Large Commercial Flat Roofing Installation
Following our first update on the IKO Mach One system, our team has continued to make exceptional progress. The first roof section of the project is now complete, fully installed, inspected, and signed off by IKO. This stage involved detailed preparation, high-quality installation, and full compliance checks which is an essential part of any professional commercial roof installation.
With the first phase successfully delivered, our DVC commercial roofing contractors team is already advancing on the second and third roof areas. Each stage continues to be overseen by Kier site managers to ensure seamless coordination and high construction standards throughout.

This includes:
Controlled site access
