Langley provides a new look for secondary school

Langley Waterproofing Systems Ltd’s superior product offering, expertise and long-life guarantees were all key in the decision to use Langley’s high performance warm roof system on the refurbishment of a previously failing roof at Jack Hunt School, Peterborough.

Working with approved contractors Harmony Roofing Services Ltd, Langley designed and specified the ideal warm roof system for the project, making use of its premium quality TA-20 Built-Up Roofing System, which offers excellent durability backed by a 20 year single premium guarantee.

The TA-20 system was selected for a number of factors. The school was undergoing widespread rejuvenation and the previous roof had begun to suffer from water ingress, making refurbishment necessary.

The system offered a high-quality waterproofing solution, combined with an insurance backed guarantee, adding long-term value to the works. The additional advantage of Langley’s brick red cap sheet also satisfied the client’s aim to match the surrounding school roof areas previously completed in a red finish.

Dominic Henson, Senior Area Manager at Langley, added: “I was pleased to be involved in the regeneration of Jack Hunt School having been a former pupil and was therefore also familiar with the premises. Mirroring the appearance of the surrounding roof areas on the school’s other buildings made a significant difference to its overall aesthetics. The organisation and hard work of Harmony Roofing Services Ltd allowed the work to be completed outside of term time, while reducing our projected time on-site from six weeks to just five.”

The wider site renovations also presented Langley and Harmony with the unique challenge of altering existing rooflight layouts, as the introduction of partition walls inside the building made several sources of natural light redundant. This was achieved by the contractor making several large areas watertight with the resulting finish displaying the excellent versatility of the product and superb detailing work by Harmony.

Langley is dedicated to providing high-quality waterproofing systems in line with clients’ needs and at Jack Hunt School the advantage its 20 year single premium guarantee combined with the flexibility of the colour finish made this an excellent long-term solution, providing peace of mind for the client.
