Highbury Grove Academy Sports Hall Roof Renewal Summer 2025

Project Duration: 4 weeks (completed within the 6-week school holiday window)

Scope: Full sports hall roof replacement with new Single Ply membrane system

Project Overview

In summer 2025, RMG successfully completed the sports hall roofing project at Highbury Grove Academy. The existing roof had been leaking for a long time, and the school required a complete renewal to protect this vital facility.

Working within the six-week holiday break, we stripped the roof back to the corrugated metal deck and installed a brand-new Single Ply roofing system with PIR insulation. The works were finished in just four weeks, ensuring the sports hall was watertight, energy-efficient, and ready for use at the start of term.

The Challenge

  • Persistent leaks: The old roof coverings had deteriorated beyond repair.

  • School holiday timeframe: The project had to be fully completed within the summer break.

  • Large roof area: The sports hall required careful planning, sequencing, and delivery.

Our Solution

RMG carried out a full strip and renewal of the roof system, including:

  • Removing existing coverings down to the corrugated deck

  • Installing a new AVCL (air and vapour control layer) for long-term performance

  • Adding PIR insulation boards to improve thermal efficiency

  • Mechanically fixing a Single Ply membrane system to create a durable, watertight finish

By applying our school-project experience, we coordinated every stage to meet the deadline, keeping disruption to a minimum while delivering high standards.

The Result

Highbury Grove Academy now benefits from a high-performance, leak-free sports hall roof that will serve the school community for many years. The project was delivered:

  • On time – completed in four weeks within the summer break

  • To specification – meeting thermal and waterproofing requirements

  • To a high standard – with the quality finish expected from RMG
