Copper metal theft had ruined the roof of this Welwyn Garden City surgery

Around 50% of the copper roof had been stolen at the rear elevation of this Doctors' Surgery at Hall Grove in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

Realising that simply renewing the copper was likely to result in further metal theft (owing to the single storey, semi-hidden location with rear access) AND that the insurance renewal excess would cost as much again as new copper roofing, the Practice Manager sourced us for an alternative…

Removing the lead from the back of the dormer roof

This dormer roof in Upton, Northampton NN5 presented some interesting problems.

The new build lead work had been installed with the aim of directing rainwater back from the dormer roof to drain off the sides, a method that relieves the need for a high level front gutter.

The jointless seamless liquid polymer system during installation

The old mineral felt roof of this Aberystwyth investment property was in such disrepair that it was in danger of being blown completely off at any time. With excellent tenants living below, the landlord was keen to remedy this problem with minimal disruption to his tenants. As he lived 90 miles from Aberystwyth, it would be difficult for him to be on site for considerable periods of time, so he also needed the roof fixed quickly.
