Displayed are before and after pictures of a communal balcony in Kingston Rd, Teddington, in Middlesex. The area was leaking through, causing the steel work to corrode and blow the concrete. The owners arranged for funds from their service charge to be used to refurbish the balcony area.
The balcony wall itself was very sturdy including its render, the removal of which would have taken a great deal of effort and would have involved…
This balcony in Ascot, Berkshire was suffering from pooling and flooding, with water failing to drain away correctly. An oversight when the cantilevered joist had originally been fitted made water run off nearly impossible.

Working from the timber frame, the roof area was sealed, waterproofed and completed…
