RLW Roofing was appointed by Wates Group to deliver the roofing package for the new Oasis Academy development in Bristol. This project forms part of a major investment in modern education facilities, creating a vibrant and inspiring environment for students and the wider community.

Roofing Works

RLW installed a high-performance roofing system designed to provide long-term durability and reliability.

An IKO Permatec hotmelt roofing system was applied across the scheme, offering a robust and fully bonded waterproofing solution. This was complemented by stone and paving finishes, delivering both functional and aesthetic benefits to the roof areas.

As part of the package, we also installed premade upstands and a variety of pre-manufactured Nicholson M&E units, ensuring efficient integration of rooftop services while maintaining the integrity of the waterproofing system.

PPC aluminium cappings were installed to provide clean, durable edge detailing and a high-quality overall finish.

Client Vision

Richard James, Head of School at Oasis Academy Temple Quarter, said:
“While we’ve remained committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment at our temporary Spring Street site, our new property on Silverthorne Lane will be much more than a building. It will be a lasting home for learning, growth, and community pride. We’re excited to be working with GRAHAM and the Department for Education to bring this vision to life – creating a vibrant, modern space that reflects the ambition and energy of our students and their families.”
