108mm stainless steel rooftop gas-main replacement

The project

Working with principal contractor Stoic Roofing, Oxyplumb replaced the existing low-carbon steel gas main while classroom roofs were raised by approximately 100mm to improve insulation.

The old gas main was replaced with a new 108mm stainless steel main, installed on rubber feet to protect the felt roof.

Delivery and handover

The summer-holiday programme was coordinated with Stoic Roofing, with no school downtime and heating and hot water ready before pupils returned.
