Arnot St. Mary School Terracotta coping stone replacements with Leca®


Uno R


esapol were contacted by Liverpool Council/Kier to ask to tender for the


Arnot St. Mary School


Project, a listed building. Liverpool Council, are being advised by Kier throughout the duration.


For over three years, the classrooms at the school have suffered from leaks and internal plaster damage at the base of each apex.


This initiative aims to prevent further


water intrusion and to repair all internal damage. The project involves replacing the existing terracotta coping stones with Leca® Uno, a material known for being easier to move into position and fi t compared to a heavier fi lling material.


The project will be executed by a skilled team from Quadriga Ltd, in collaboration with Kirk Scaffold and Darwen Terracotta. This cooperation is crucial for ensuring that the work meets the high standards expected by the council while ensuring


minimal disruption to the school’s activities. By taking these measures,


the project


promises to enhance the structural integrity of the buildings.


All the terracotta coping stones will be replaced, except for the top decorative fl eur-de-lis, and a damp proof course (DPC) installed underneath to prevent future water ingress.


Leca® The use of materials like Leca® Uno


underscores a commitment to sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation and installation. Additionally,


this approach reduces the


overall weight on the structure, minimizing the risk of further damage over time. Please call or visit Resapol’s website for further information.
