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.

The Challenge

  • Operational environment — work had to be carried out safely within an active school, with minimal disruption.
  • Ageing metal roof — loss of protective coating and early-stage corrosion.
  • Large roof area — required efficient planning and consistent application.
  • Weather exposure — the roof needed enhanced long-term protection against the UK climate.

The Solution

  • Detailed roof survey and assessment to identify areas of concern.
  • 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.

Results

  • Fully restored roof system with a clean, uniform grey finish.
  • Improved waterproofing, eliminating potential leak points.
  • Enhanced durability against UV exposure and adverse weather.
  • Extended service life of the existing roof structure.
  • Minimal disruption to school operations throughout.

Client Outcome

The completed project met both performance and budget expectations. The school now has a reliable, weather-resistant roofing system and a safe environment for students and staff.
