Preston Muslim Girls High School, located in the Deepdale area of Preston, Lancashire, engaged with us at Cladding Coatings to refurbish the roof of their facility. The project involved installing new battens, membranes, and insulation, followed by the application of robust new metal sheets. Work also encompassed re-lining the gutter system to the roof and ensuring flashings were installed to a high standard. This comprehensive roof refurbishment aimed to enhance the building’s durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring it stands as a safe and secure environment for students and staff alike.

Founded in 1989, Preston Muslim Girls High School is a private Islamic secondary school dedicated to providing quality education to girls in the Lancashire region. Over the years, the school has grown in both reputation and student body, necessitating improvements to its infrastructure to continue offering a conducive learning environment.

Challenges Faced

Ageing Infrastructure: The school buildings were showing signs of wear and tear, particularly the roofing, which required immediate attention to prevent further deterioration.

Weather Exposure: Given Lancashire’s unpredictable weather patterns, the existing roof materials needed an upgrade to withstand harsh conditions and provide reliable protection.

Minimal Disruption: Conducting a major refurbishment project within a functioning school required careful planning to minimise disruption.

Our Approach

As experts in the refurbishment of commercial and industrial properties, we approached this project as we would with any of the refurbishments we commence:

Site Survey and Planning: A comprehensive site survey was conducted to assess the current state of the roof and plan the refurbishment process to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal disruption.

Selection of Materials: High-quality, durable materials were chosen to ensure long-term performance.

Execution: Our experienced team meticulously carried out the refurbishment, adhering to strict safety standards and timelines. The process was managed to ensure the school environment remained safe and was completed during a holiday period when there were less people operating at the school.

Key Features and Benefits

Durability: The new roofing system provides enhanced durability, protecting the school from the elements.

Energy Efficiency: Improved insulation contributes to better energy efficiency, helping reduce the school’s heating costs.

Aesthetic Enhancement: The new metal roofing not only performs well but also adds a modern and clean aesthetic to the school building.

The successful refurbishment of the roof has significantly improved the building’s structural integrity and appearance.
