School and education roofing.
Education estates combine occupied buildings, safeguarding, fixed holiday windows and varied roof types. The right answer must be technically sound and realistically deliverable.
Direct answer
Survey, specification and programme need to account for pupils, staff, asbestos information, access, noise, internal protection and the available holiday window.
Risks to diagnose
What changes the decision.
Ageing asbestos-cement roofs
Leaks into teaching spaces

Provide clear option comparison
Problem → recommended work
Start with the failure—not the coating.
Water ingress
Trace laps, fixings, rooflights, penetrations, gutters and interfaces before selecting a repair.
Metal roof deterioration
Map cut-edge corrosion, failed fasteners, laps and coating breakdown.
Cladding failure
Separate fading, delamination, corrosion, seal failure and damaged sheets.
Asbestos-cement
Assess condition, work classification and repair, encapsulation or replacement options.
Drainage failure
Check joints, outlets, falls, corrosion and capacity before repair or lining.
