Project Description

Installation:

Mastic Asphalt

Description

As part of a wider school refurbishment project, Sussex Asphalte were responsible for the mastic asphalt coverings. The project involved stripping the 250m² of existing defective coverings down to the flat concrete slab, and laying new asphalt in two coats, finished with 2 coats of solar reflective paint. All in strict accordance with the IKO specification.

Christ Hospital school is a prestigious listed building that was founded in 1552. Christ’s Hospital was the result of the foundation by Henry VIII and confirmed by Edward VI, assisted by Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, and Sir Richard Dobbs, Lord Mayor of London. Due to the heritage status of the building, mastic asphalt was specified for the roof covering to preserve the original aesthetics of the building.
