Todmorden Learning Centre

Case overview

The existing green mineral torch-on felt roof at Todmorden Learning Centre required a robust, long-lasting waterproofing solution to serve as a protective layer beneath solar panels scheduled for installation. The key objectives were to:

  • Create a watertight barrier to protect the original roof.
  • Deliver a durable solution that would extend the roof’s lifespan and support renewable energy goals.
  • Ensure minimal disruption and efficient completion of the project.
Project Overview
  • Client: Todmorden Learning Centre
  • Location: Todmorden, UK
  • Project Size: 550m²
  • Date: July 2024
  • Duration: 5 Days (3-man team)
  • Roofing System: Overlay of green mineral torch-on felt roof

The Solution:

This project was expertly carried out by roofing contractors referred by Rubber Roofing Supplies NorthWest (RRSNW). These contractors had undergone comprehensive training at RRSNW’s state-of-the-art facilities in Preston, equipping them with the expertise to install PeelAffix20 self-adhesive EPDM membranes with precision and efficiency.

PeelAffix20 was chosen for its:

  • High-Performance Waterproofing: The self-adhesive EPDM membrane provides a seamless and durable watertight barrier, ensuring protection against moisture ingress, UV rays, and environmental wear.
  • Ease of Installation: Its self-adhesive backing eliminates the need for additional adhesives or primers, making it perfect for overlaying existing roof systems.
  • Sustainability: PeelAffix20 aligns with Todmorden Learning Centre’s sustainability goals by creating a secure base for solar panel installations.

The Process:

  1. Preparation: The existing felt roof surface was cleaned and inspected to ensure stability for PeelAffix20 application.

  2. Installation: The 550m² surface was overlayed with PeelAffix20, ensuring precise placement and seamless adhesion. Overlaps were carefully sealed to create a reliable, long-term watertight membrane.

  3. Completion: The project was completed within 5 days by a highly skilled 3-man team, demonstrating the efficiency and simplicity of the PeelAffix20 system.

Key Highlights:

Efficient Installation

Completed in just 5 days by highly trained contractors.

Comprehensive Waterproofing

PeelAffix20 ensured a durable, leak-proof solution over the existing roof.

Seamless Integration

The Results:

The Todmorden Learning Centre team was ecstatic with the results. The high-quality waterproofing system not only delivered exceptional durability and protection but was also completed ahead of schedule, minimizing disruption. The newly installed PeelAffix20 membrane created a perfect foundation for the upcoming solar panel installation, reinforcing the Centre’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
