Kings Hill Primary School is an early 19th Century building. The old roof slates were flaking due to frost damage with many slipped / lost slates needing replacing.
IKOslate was chosen by the client (Walsall MBC) as a low weight, cost effective alternative. The products CO2 credentials were also a key factor. During the installation IKO Rubershield Pro and IKO Armourvent were also installed to provide cross flow ventilation, and IKO’s lead substitute IKOflash was installed in the valleys and for flashing the chimneys. The steep pitch of the roof provided the contractor with a challenge particularly with the cold damp Autumn mornings.
Large Residential Estate Restoration for Energy Efficiency
Work began on the major upgrade to the 469 council homes in March 2012, which could lead to them becoming up to 47% more energy efficient (based on BRE study 2013). The scheme is mainly funded by Milton Keynes council with power giants npower providing grant funding that they earn based on the amount of carbon savings realised by installing the ‘eco-upgrades’.
Liquid and Bituminous Multi-System Project - Airbus, Stevenage
22,000m2 Flame-Free System Used in Sensitive Industrial Refurbishment
Improvement was necessary to improve roof and gutter surface water clearance.
IKO recommended an overlay on the existing deck, which complied with all the latest British Standards and Regulations.
IKO Mach One System was chosen as it provided a flame-free System. Where detailing was difficult IKO Polimar EC/UV System was used. The roof refurbishment also included the installation of smoke vents, associated smoke control panels and accessories.
Liquid Waterproofing Solution Meets Refurbishment Needs of Coastal Residential Development
A robust, trafficable waterproof finish was required to fulfil the brief and this had to be installed with minimal disruption to residents, allowing them access at all times. The waterproofing system needed to offer some slip resistance and be aesthetically pleasing whilst still being functional and robust. Furthermore, the waterproofing works were due to be undertaken during the winter months and so cooler conditions were to be expected and needed to be allowed for.

New Urban Development Roof Benefits From 1 Hour Curing Screed
Whilst considering various options, IKO provided Bellway Homes with information on their asphalt based IKO Permascreed system, which was compatible with the IKO Permatec solution to follow.
The application of IKO Permascreed not only ensures fast track application, but also provides a temporary waterproofing layer prior to installation of the IKO Permatec top layer. Once cured the IKO Permascreed layer was robust enough to accept the type of traffic and concentrated loads associated with the installation of a flat roof waterproofing system.
New-Build Retirement Block Receives the Benefits of both a Hot Melt, Bituminous and Cold Applied Liquid Roofing Systems
IKO Permatec Hot Melt was used in the gutters and balconies where a bison slab was used for the deck. On the main roof area was a timber deck and the preferred system for this was a built-up bituminous membrane system. IKO Challenger 180 nailed layer, IKO Systems Torch-on Underlay and IKO Superflex Cap Sheet were installed.

Plot 700, Winnersh Triangle (Carbon Neutral)
This project was a new build, the main contractor specified the need to house a roof/plant room area at the top of a new office block.
Originally, it was thought that a Single-Ply, warm roof installation would be the best solution.
However, when consulting with IKO about the main requirements for the roofing solution, both pre and during installation, IKO Permaphalt was the obvious choice due to the speed of installation and the robust nature of the materials that would be used and in an inverted roofing situation, potentially last the lifetime of the building.
Portslade Academy - IKO Ultra Prevent
Portslade Aldridge Community Academy is based in the heart of Portslade, Brighton. The secondary school and Sixth Form specialises in Sports, Science, Media and Entrepreneurship. There has been significant development of the site over recent years and includes a new community library and a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Centre.
Due to the nature of the site, a hybrid system was preferred by the client in order to reduce the use of hot works and for its excellent waterproofing performance. This is why the IKO Ultra prevent (Hybrid) system was chosen for the project.
Prestigious Residential Property Receives New and Improved Roof
IKO carried out a roof survey and core sample analysis which created a detailed condition report, then liaised with installing roofing contractors WAA Roofing Ltd to refine the specification to meet the client’s requirements. This was to include an overlay of the existing asphalt system.
Protecting Against Coastal Erosion with Mastic Asphalt
One solution to the problem was to extend the existing revetment construction, but this would have required large volumes of excavation with increased times and cost. It was therefore decided to adopt a minimal excavation of the toe area only, infill with a rock layer and fully grout using IKO Bituminous grout. This resulted in a flexible bituminous bound slab, which would follow the future settlement and scour of the toe, thus preventing undermining of the sea wall revetment
Refurbishment of 1960's Flats Using Liquid Waterproofing
The existing 1960’s housing blocks required a long lasting roofing system to replace the current ‘response to leaks’ patching and repair system currently in pace, including an upgrade in insulation to meet Part L Building Regulations.

Successful project management and asphalt installation (in accordance with BS 8218:1998) were key to conserving one of the most important architectural structures in the U.K. Works were phased to enable continued public access to Stone Gallery sections.
The height and highly sensitive fabric of the building meant that all materials were transported to the Gallery via three hoists, requiring careful operation and management.
Replacing an Original 1949 Roofing Waterproofing System Including New Rooflights
Perry Hall Academy, a large primary school built in 1949, with original waterproofing still in-situ.
IKO assisted the Academy funding bid by providing a detailed survey report, including intrusive core sample analysis. The roofs were suffering from water ingress, cracks in the mastic asphalt, pooled water and poor heat retention, so decision was made to replace the roofs throughout.
New rooflights were also specified to allow more natural light in while the design chosen reduced the external noise transmission.
IKO worked with specifier Concept Education Services to deliver the project (some work during term-time) within 6 months.
Replacing Existing Asphaltic Plug Joints on the Busy M4 Chiswick Flyover
Chiswick Flyover is situated at the end of the M4, joining the motorway to the A4, a main arterial route carrying thousands of vehicles into Central London each day.

IKO chose an IKO Mach One single layer bituminous system incorporating a site specific cut-to-fall system. This project was a complex roof replacement system with multi-trades required for specialist operations.
School Roof Receives Much Needed Fire Protection and Waterproofing
Walker Primary School was opened in 1953 as a one-form entry primary school with seven classes. Over the years, due to its popularity, it has grown and new buildings have been added.
Due to the structural design of the building, the roof trusses once exposed meant that the roof changed from one roof to several individual roofs with their own drainage and design issues which meant that each roof had to give its own tapered scheme for each area, which in some cases had to work in tandem with the abutting roof it was next to.
Shatter Resistant Tiles Complete New Roof for Residents at Golf Club Lodge

a twelve week period, in two phases, whilst keeping the remaining 18,000m2 open, minimising disruption to the business,
staff and visitors.
