Leaking felt roof terrace in Oswestry, before...

This bedroom roof terrace at a Shropshire cottage in Oswestry, on the border between England and North-East Wales, was leaking significantly.

The existing slabs and leaking felt underlying these were removed to give a fresh base. We then installed a tray to span the cavity, before applying a full 15-year system to join the tray seamlessly to the roof.

Work on the roof terrace was completed in just 3 days, leaving the owners…
