Protecting Your Academies, Preserving Your Capital – Expert Roof Care for Trusts

Keely Warren / 20 February 2025

Managing the roof estate across a multi-academy trust isn’t just about preventing leaks. It’s about protecting your assets, ensuring compliance, and managing costs effectively—all while minimising disruption to students and staff. This is where innovative roof diagnostics and planned preventative maintenance programmes, like TremCare, can make a huge difference.

Why Roof Diagnostics Matter

Hidden moisture and undetected damage can escalate into costly and disruptive issues if left untreated. Tremco’s innovative Roof Diagnostics service uses advanced technologies, such as infrared thermal mapping and core sampling verification, to identify problem areas accurately. This non-intrusive method allows multi-academy trusts to focus resources where needed, helping to avoid expensive full-roof replacements.

With a detailed report outlining areas of water ingress, wet insulation, and recommended actions, trust leaders can take a data-driven approach to plan remedial works. Better yet, mitigation of unresolved issues ensures the longevity of the roof.

Most manufacturers may often just take core samples. The main problem with that is missed moisture, or they can wrongly assume that there is more moisture present than there is. This can lead to more costly and disruptive repairs or water ingress areas still being present.
