- Upgrading air conditioning units and HVAC systems
- Asbestos removal in compliance with health and safety regulations
This project demonstrates our expertise in commercial roofing restoration and our ability to handle complex, multifaceted projects for educational and public sector buildings.
Roof Condition Survey and Specification
Before commencing the works, DVC Roofing conducted a comprehensive roof condition survey in conjunction with Moy Materials, a trusted roofing systems provider. The survey identified areas of wear, water ingress risk, and structural issues that required attention.
Following the assessment, Moy Materials recommended the Protan single-ply PVC warm roof system, which provides the following benefits:
- Waterproofing certification with BBA Approval Inspection Certification
- Guaranteed life expectancy of at least 40 years, backed by a 20-year warranty from Moy Materials
- Compliance with The Building Regulations 2010: Conservation of fuel and power – Approved Document L1B
- Installation in accordance with BS 6229:2018, covering flat roofs with continuously supported flexible waterproof coverings
This specification ensures that Kendal College receives a durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance commercial flat roof system suitable for decades of service.
Commercial Roof Refurbishment
The roof refurbishment works, scheduled to commence on 22nd February 2021, are estimated to last approximately 12 weeks. Key stages of the project include:
- Stripping existing roofing layers to assess the insulation and substrate
- Removal and safe disposal of any asbestos-containing materials
- Installation of Protan single-ply PVC warm roof membranes
- Reinstallation of solar thermal and photovoltaic panels to ensure energy efficiency is maintained
- Upgrading HVAC systems and air conditioning units for improved environmental performance
