RAAC Remediation And Roof Replacement For Academy
When RAAC panels were discovered in the main hall at a local Academy, Garland UK developed an efficient plan to support the RAAC deck removal and determine the optimum high-performance roof system.
The Academy faced significant disruption to students and staff with the main hall’s immediate closure, and every step was taken to ensure that the RAAC remediation works were planned efficiently and completed as quickly as possible once on site.

Roof Replacement Saves School £98K
The existing roofs at an Academy Trust showed signs of failure, suffering from a range of water ingress, sunken insulation, membrane blistering and ponding water issues. The Trust had been advised by a third party that every roof at the site was completely saturated and required a full strip to the deck and replacement.
The preliminary in-depth investigations conducted by Garland UK and the proposed roof refurbishment solution avoided a complete roof replacement, saving the school £98,000 in labour, materials and skip costs and avoided over 30 tonnes of waste material going to landfill.
