This vast new build scheme incorporating leisure, retail and accommodation was completed in 2022.
Approximately 3,500sqm of Three Layered Felt system with tapered insulation including Green Roofs.
2,000 sqm of hot melt waterproofing, 1,200 sqm of metal sheeting to the retail section of the development and a final 1000 sqm of complex sound deadening within the roof build up to the cinema building.
The roof and balcony waterproofing systems covered approximately 1900sqm.
There was a combination of Hot Melt waterproofing, a warm roof system and cold applied waterproofing across the project.
Alongside the roofing and balcony waterproofing systems, a further 400 linear metres of metal cappings were installed.
Skyler Contracting were chosen as Principal Contractor for the roof refurbishment at Harris Academy in Bermondsey.
The main roof areas were in an extremely poor state and had a number of attempts to stop the leaks over a number of years but to no avail.
Skyler Contracting assembled a full scaffold that totalled twelve storeys to gain independent access to the roof areas.
Works consisted of complete removal of the existing Mastic Asphalt which had failed in many places. Underneath of the Asphalt was a degraded screed that was also removed. This fell outside the original specification and was an addition.
Combining this addition, whilst working in a live school with exams underway, made this an extremely sensitive project. Constant communication with the school hierarchy and detailed schedules as to when each element of works was taking place, became a critical factor in delivering this project to the trust in the defined timeframe.
The project area in total was 500sqm.
