Project Overview

A large metal roof on a live school site, refurbished with the TOR metal roof coating system — carried out safely around an operating school, with no strip-out and no closure.

Storm Coatings were appointed to refurbish a large metal roof on a busy educational site. The existing roof was showing its age: coating wear, reduced weather protection and the general deterioration typical of long-term exposure.

The client needed a durable, cost-effective solution that would extend the life of the roof while avoiding the disruption and expense of a full replacement — particularly important in a live school environment.

Weather exposure — the roof needed enhanced long-term protection against the UK climate.

The Solution

Full surface preparation, including cleaning and treatment of corrosion.
Repairs and sealing of laps, fixings and penetrations.
Application of the TOR coating system for a seamless, uniform finish.
Strict safety controls, including edge protection and site management appropriate to a school setting.

Improved waterproofing, eliminating potential leak points.
Enhanced durability against UV exposure and adverse weather.
