The mastic asphalt roof area was tired and leaking

The popular 36 room Belle Vue Hotel in Aberystwyth contacted us in desperate need of a new roof for a rear-facing area of the hotel. The existing mastic asphalt roof was blistered and leaking, requiring full re-waterproofing and weatherproofing, all while the hotel remained operational.

We always love the opportunity to show how perfect the polymer roofing system is for jobs like these. Most roofing systems would affect a hotel's…

The existing roof consisted of flat mineral felt which, as picture 1 shows, had been replaced in so many sections over the years that it had…

The flat roof area of the Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth

The Marine Hotel on Aberystwyth's seafront in West Wales, sported various features making it difficult, if not impossible, for most roofers to access without damage. The problem area was a flat roof with air conditioning units on it beneath a fire escape walkway. We were able to strip, refurbish and fully waterproof the ENTIRE area (even WITH the AC units in just 4 days with no damage and no need to call out mechanical engineers to disconnect…

Stripping back the paper backed single ply roof

Ceredigion County Council case study:

The first step was for us to strip the roof back and remove the ply paper backing, before the liquid polymer roof system could be installed.
The roof was then overlaid with a 15 year BBA approved high flexible…
