Ashtree School | Case Study

Ashtree School suffered with severe roof drainage issues which often resulted in internal leaks. When M&J arrived on site over 70% of the flat roofs were covered in standing water.

M&J carried out a complete re-design of the roof including making redundant all internal outlets and installing a double tapered insulation scheme, which drained rain water to the outside edge.  M&J also carried out the installation of Fascias, Deep Flow Aluminium Guttering & Downpipe Systems along with the complete re-design of the Groundwork Drainage due to historical problems. The works also included the installation of a temporary Trackway to gain access to difficult areas of the school and reduce damage caused by heavy vehicles moving around the site.

As part of our continued partnership with the schools we work with, our Business Development Manager (Richard James) carried out an assembly with the children at Ashtree School to explain what the works involved, the importance of health and safety around the site and which included a demonstration of the PPE items with children being dressed up as a construction worker!

Headteacher, Ms E Kirwin, has this to say:

 “I was very grateful to Richard for introducing the work, that M& J Group are doing, to the pupils. The assembly was fun, with lots of props and a clear message about the Health and Safety aspects of the work. Pupils had the chance to ask their questions and demonstrate their knowledge too. Well done.”
