As we’ve mentioned previously, August was a busy month for us. The school holidays are in full swing, so it’s the perfect window to carry out essential refurbishment works.

One of the projects we have overseen, ready for the pupil’s return, was an infant school refurbishment in Burton on Trent. This included a full roof replacement. While not the most glamorous type of project, these works are vital to keeping schools in good repair and ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and efficient places to learn.

For this project, we removed an existing polycarbonate “conservatory-style” roof and replaced it with a new, fully insulated, warrantied roof. This not only guarantees the building will remain watertight for many years to come, but also helps the school lower its energy bills through improved thermal performance.

Interestingly, previous contractors had advised that the building couldn’t be repaired and would need to be demolished. Working closely with SA Consulting and Davlyn Construction Limited, we were able to deliver a practical and cost-effective solution, proving that with the right team, challenges can be overcome.
