Alice House at Solihull Preparatory School faced a critical issue with its flat roof system: chronic and widespread leaks that were impacting classrooms and common areas, threatening internal fabric and disrupting the learning environment.

Upon inspection, the roof was found to be structurally deficient and thermally non-compliant, with failed timber decking which was weak and inconsistent and unable to provide a reliable substrate for a new system.

The roof had minimal to no effective insulation, leading to excessive heat loss and high energy bills which had zero thermal performance and the old roof membrane had reached the end of its service life, resulting in water ingress across multiple areas.

The school required a durable, high-performance solution that would bring the building up to modern building regulations for thermal efficiency while minimising disruption during the 6-week summer holiday period.
