Topcoat drying - this will provide the base for the composite decking

This seafront property in the Cornish town of Falmouth (TR11) required an overlay system for the installation of new composite decking along the entire terrace length. With its location, one of the key specifications for any installation is a very high degree of waterproofing and weather resistance / weatherproofing, which meant the polymer system was ideal.

In addition, the owners also needed a pool house vapour layered ready for the…

Before and After

This roof terrace / balcony area in Caernarfon (Gwynedd, North Wales) had a drainage issue, with water not running off as it should due to a faulty fall. Our job here was to correct the fall and create a roof with proper run-off.

As can be seen from the photographs, the whole area was cleaned and pressure-washed, before undertaking fall correction and sealing with the polymer system. Because the system is jointless, seamless and…

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…

Problems when we arrived were extensive and varied

This property in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire in South Wales (SA17) required a complete refurbishment of the existing lead awning running the length of one wall and then curving around a corner. As the photographs show, the lead had seriously perished, creating damage to the underlying waterproofing and areas of water ingress.

We stripped off all the existing leadwork and replaced it all with our lead-look polymer system (the polymer…

Installing the polymer flat roof jointlessly and seamlessly against lipped ridge

This project involved two roofs at the same property in New Quay on the West Wales Ceredigion coast (SA25). One was a smaller, low-level flat roof with a skylight and tapered drainage; the other was a large, warm roof area atop the building which needed lipped ridge sills to help protect the pitched skylight windows below from excess water. As the photos show, the polymer installation also runs up the side of the chimney stack, creating a…
