Balconies and Roof Gardens
This roof terrace in Radlett near Watford in Hertfordshire, North London received a brand new polymer treatment during the winter months. As the photo shows, the terrace / balcony is subtly tapered, allowing for rainwater run-off and drainage.
The polymer system is jointless and seamless, affordable, long-lasting and allows for a wide range of balcony and roof terrace options including grip-enhancement, pigmented quartz in a…
This seaside property in Borth (Ynyslas) on the west coast of Cerdigion in Wales really put the polymer system through its paces, using the system's incredible versatility to achieve multiple ends that ultimately involved not just roofs but walls and windows.
The house now has a polymer lined balcony, converted from an existing roof area, a fully sealed and watertight Dorma window, and coated walls, protecting it from the worst of the…
This rubber clad plywood on this balcony flat roof in Flint, North Wales had failed, deteriorating in several places. This was the third time the roof had had to be replaced in the space of 12 years and the owner was now seeking alternatives.

One new 14 apartment development on the main seafront road illustrates this well - the roof area wrapped around the complex, each area presenting its own…
This wraparound roof in Talybont in Ceredigion, West Wales, was badly leaking and in desperate need of repair and refurbishment. Water was pooling everywhere, the existing surface was ripped, lifting and leaking, and moss had formed in clumps over much of the surface.
Despite this, the underlying roof was still sound and able to be reused!
After cleaning, stripping back and pressure washing the roof, the decayed felt substrate…
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…
