The Bishop of Hereford’s Bluecoat School


Problem:
The existing flat roof was constructed in 1974 and had reached the end of its design life. It was leaking badly and internal valley gutters were compounding the problem further.

Solution:
An Ashjack propped rafter over-roof conversion system was used to create a pitched roof structure to facilitate run-off and the internal valley gutters were replaced with external gutters. Sun pipes were installed to compensate for the loss of around 60 skylights in the original flat roofs.
