English Martyrs

English Martyrs Catholic School &

Sixth Form College

The replacement of the roof for English Martyrs School Hartlepool, part of the Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust was a very complex project

There were different roof shapes including circular and sloped roofs, multiple rooflights, and ventilated penetrations along with the requirement to avoid pooling water. In addition, work had to be carried out during school operating hours which was an additional challenge.

Our solution:

The supplier was very keen to use Xtrafall as a solution to the complexity of design and the necessity to minimise onsite disruption.

Our Xtrafall solution is a customised cut-to-fall scheme. The system comprises of individually engineered pieces, which were installed in accordance with comprehensive laydown mapping to ensure that the overall design intent was achieved. Complex geometrical patterns are pre-formed under controlled factory conditions to provide a technically excellent, cost-effective method of providing an effective flat roof insulation and drainage solution with improved speed of installation.

The project was also supported with a range of exclusive ancillary products, designed to ensure continuous thermal insulation and complete roof drainage.
