The balcony sits on a steel-edged concrete substrate which is wicking water

THE BRIEF:

The architect owner of this 12m long, 1.7m wide rear-projecting balcony in Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY2 has specific requirements which have been carefully thought out. At the time of contact, as the photographs show, the balcony consists of clay tiles laid over screed, with no allocated drainage - meaning rainwater falls along the entire length of the balcony edge. Water has also penetrated through the screed to the concrete…

Prior to refurbishment, the roof  was lumpy, splitting and retaining damp

This portable cabin style warehouse office block on a small industrial estate at Berkeley Heath between Bristol and Gloucester (GL13 9EU) needed its roof refurbished.

As usual, we began by meticulously going over the existing roof, clearing debris, pressure-cleaning, making repairs, and so on. Only then do we apply base coat, fully sealing the area. We then applied a high-spec, jointless, seamless top coat that makes water ingress…

Border for water retention at one end of the roof

The NHS Foundation Hospital at Chorley in Preston, Lancashire, was in need of a high performance, durable cold roof for one of its many smaller roofing areas.

The polymer system being installed around a central skylight

These two roofs in Winskill, near Penrith in Cumbria CA10, required a high degree of careful tapering to create an insulated polymer gradient that will channel rainwater away from the central skylight and away from the adjoining wall. This will protect the integrity of both the skylight and the roof substrate, ensuring water will not pool or sit.

The owners chose a 20 year polymer roof protection, guaranteeing the roof will last at…

The existing roof terrace area was clearly no longer fit for purpose

This balcony terrace, intended to provide a cosy outdoor space, had seen better days - as the photographs show. To refurbish it and correct the problems that had caused the issues in the first place, we stripped everything back, then gradually layered in the polymer system to create a strong, jointless and seamless balcony that should last for many years to come. We completed with a tough, anti-skid quartz finish - chosen by the customer from…

The detached building with roofing in progress
