Whether a school, university, college or academy, requires a full roof refurbishment, roof repair or new roof construction, Sika can conduct free roof surveys or provide an initial consultation to ensure the right solution is specified for each individual project. As a flat roofing specialist we can provide a bespoke specification for a full system build-up that is suitable for the building's requirements, whether that is to support the reduction of energy running costs with our warm roof build-ups, or a waterproofing solution selected to support project sustainability objectives. Sika's Roofing Area Technical Managers can provide expert advice to help determine the most appropriate roofing solution.

Below you'll find a variety of education projects where a Sika flat roof waterproofing system was specified as the right solution for the individual project requirements:
