Brecon Residential Home Polymer Roof

Gwenllian Morgan Court in Brecon in South Wales LD3 7ET needed refurbishment for the flat walkway-style areas of its rooftop (i.e. between slate areas).

As the photographs show, this was well within the capability of the polymer system - the main issue being creating a jointless, seamlessly waterproof seal when the roof is of two different materials.

This was, however, no problem. The final result is neat, watertight and guaranteed to last for at least 20 years.

Metal Portable Unit Roof Improvements North Devon

This metal mobile portable telecoms unit in North Devon required improvements to the roof.

The gutters, which were small, kept blocking. As this causes a range of serious problems, the gutters were removed. New drip trim and deep flow alloy gutters were fitted, creating a roof that will now channel water properly.

Following this, the entire roof was then encapsulated in poly roof Protec fiberglass, completing the roof.

National Library of Wales Plant Room - Polymer Roof Refurbishment of Mastic Asphalt

A 180m2 roof area of National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth is undergoing installation as part of a wider decarbonsation plan for the public sector.

The roof had to be refurbished with a long-lasting jointless and seamless roofing system as the entire roof will be underneath steel RSJs supporting a heat pump. The roof was mastic asphalt covered in chippings & moss. It needed to be cleared and de-chipped, before having all defects filled out with specialist roofing levelling mortar.

The roof was prepared and primed with Poly Roof primer, before full installation.

Aberystwyth University Ply Roofing Replacement

This single ply membrane roof at the University of Aberystwyth had been leaking for many years. After preparation works, including pressure washing to thoroughly clean the area, three splits were found, necessitating a roof replacement. Polymer roofing is a better-lasting material that doesn't split after time (the degradation process is slower and results in gradual 'chalking' rather than splits or lifts - meaning no water ingress).

Complete Garage Roof Rebuild for Under 10K - Borth, Wales

This enviably large 46m2 garage roof in Borth on the West Wales coast (SY24, Ceredigion) had been so neglected that nothing was salvageable (which is rare). In this case, it meant a complete rebuild. The entire job cost less than 10K.
 

Glengower Hotel Aberystwyth 20 Year Polymer Roof

The Glengower is a traditional sea-front pub and restaurant in the popular West Wales town of Aberystwyth. Its roof was suffering standing water (a major cause of water ingress, mould growth and eventual roof instability).

We removed the standing water by increasing the sump sizes, lowering the outlets and removing the duct work while new waterproofing was applied. After that, the duct work was quickly refitted. The process and our approach eliminated disruption to the hotel, a major consideration in particular for public-facing businesses of this nature.

Aberystwyth University dance studio refurb

These portacabin-style dance studios at Aberystwyth University (SY23) were in need of refurbishment involving coating the metal cladding to waterproof it and prolong its life.

We used the Polycoat RoofTec Elite system over the entire exterior - demonstrating the incredible versatility of the polymer system and the range of uses in which it excels.

WHERE NOW?

Residential carpark polymer anti-flood refurb Belsize Park NW3

This residential car park in Belsize Park, Hampstead Heath, Camden (NW3) suffered a serious flood from the upper main road due to on-street rainwater drains being blocked solid from lack of maintenance. Although not historically a flood prone area, heavy rain and flooding wrought by climate change resulted in two houses and three apartments being flooded to a depth of one metre. This led residents to take preventive measures to decrease their reliance on external drain maintenance.

Hereford Substation Polymer Roof

This new electricity substation in Hereford, built to improve power supply to the city's homes, was being built from scratch and needed a good, high-spec, fully weatherproof and long-lasting roof from the outset.

We used a guaranteed 20 year protection system, installation as shown in the pictures above.

The polymer system we used - Protec - is also ideal for reinstating existing power substations with zero fall, since Protec is zero fall certified to exceed the designed lifespan.
