Project Overview
DL Jones Roofing Services was appointed by GLF Schools to carry out essential flat roof refurbishment works across a series of canopy structures at Warlingham Park School in Surrey. These canopies cover walkways and outdoor areas that are in daily use by students and staff – making a safe, watertight, and durable roofing solution a non-negotiable requirement. The project was delivered in an occupied, operational school environment with all safeguarding protocols in place throughout.
GLF Schools is one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the South East. Projects of this nature – delivered across occupied educational sites with tight programme windows and strict compliance requirements – are exactly the type of work DL Jones has built its reputation on over more than 35 years of operating across London and the South East.
Scope of Work
We completed a full renewal of the flat roof areas using the Mapei Polyshield built-up felt system – a BBA-certified system designed for long-lasting performance in public and high-traffic environments.
Key Works Included:
- Removal and disposal of the existing roof coverings
- Substrate preparation and insulation upgrades (where needed)
- Full installation of the multi-layer Mapei Polyshield system
- Detailing at all abutments, columns, and drainage points
- All work carried out safely in occupied, operational school areas
System Benefits
The Mapei Polyshield system was chosen for its exceptional waterproofing capabilities, long service life, and compliance with safety and quality standards. Benefits include:
- Robust waterproofing and durability
- Fire resistance and UV stability
- BBA certification ensuring quality assurance
- Low-maintenance and cost-effective lifecycle
Health, Safety & Sustainability
Works were carried out with strict adherence to health and safety protocols, ensuring zero disruption to school operations. Waste materials were managed responsibly and recycled where possible — reflecting DLJONES CPS Ltd’s ongoing commitment to sustainability in the education sector.
