West Wales
This flat roof repair and replacement project was undertaken at Aberaeron, not far from Aberystwyth, on the wet and windy West Wales coast.
The school computer room roof, now a leaking and rotting patchwork of repairs, originally had a flat ash felt roof that had fissure-cracked over the school’s sixty year life and been felted over at some point with non-vapour permeable felt.
Rainwater and internal vapour had leaked in,…
The completed roof of this listed building in Aberystwyth shows just how versatile the liquid roofing system can be - it looks like lead, forms around details more easily than lead (it is 'perfect forming'), and indeed, often gets described as 'liquid lead'.
On this roof, the lead-work had perished and would have been 'cost prohibitive' to replace. Various alternative options exist but most (including fibreglass) do not expand and…
One of our more unusual roofing jobs! We were approached by Aberystwyth Cliff Railway to refurbish the roofs of their train carriages. Every day, these two well-used trains transport visitors up and down Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, where they go to visit the world's largest Camera Obscura, to eat at the Consti Cafe, or to enjoy one of the stunning clifftop walks.
The train carriage roofs, however, had fallen into disrepair and…
Aberystwyth University decided that their copper roof was in need of replacement and chose our liquid polymer roofing system as a reliable, great looking, long-lasting alternative to a whole new copper roof. The Verdi Green 20-year reinforced liquid membrane roofing system over-coats the roof to create an immaculate jointless and sealess finish!
As the pictures show, the result is a beautiful roof that looks fresh and contemporary, and…
With our head office in Aberystwyth, fixing roofs around Wales is never a problem.
Over time, this 20-year old school roof had become porous and begun to leak. The roof was above the school kitchen, so removing it was not an option. We began by pressure-washing the roof to clean it, before applying a base coat of the liquid membrane roofing system and GRP reinforcement.
The roof was finished with a UV resistant top coat,…
