RM Polymers

This row of eight garages in Troon, South Ayrshire (less than 40 miles west of Glasgow), was in need of a roof, quickly.

The area, as can be seen from the photograph, was relatively large, around 160m2, and required a full flat roof system. Because of continuity of work, the contractor needed a quick turnaround and dry storage needed to be preserved.

Polymer roofing is especially helpful in these circumstances, enabling fast…

Waterproof Polymer Balcony with Hardwearing Quartz System

Aberystwyth, on the wet and windy west coast of Wales, is a place that knows how important waterproofing is! Balconies that pool and collect water are balconies that rot and decay before their time, never lasting as long as their materials would suggest. The polymer system, which reuses plastic polymer particles, keeping them out of rivers and seas, is fully waterproof. It provides a seamless, jointless covering for balconies, roofs and…

Non-standard skylight, easily fitted using the polymer system

Flashings and kerb upstands tend to be manufactured to particular sizes, meaning that non-standard skylights made to special size requirements can often present a challenge.

We worked with the existing mastic asphalt roof, saving time, money and resources. The entire area was cleaned, with increased ply fascias fitted in preparation for the roof to…

This flat roof is contained with multiple small details

This flat roof in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan was in need of refurbishment as its existing single ply membrane was leaking. With the high winds and rain of Autumn and Winter 2015, this was causing problems for the owners, who needed to find a lasting solution quickly.

We over-coated the roof with a jointless, seamless liquid membrane system which would wholly prevent any further leakage or water ingress, saving electro testing, as…
