Flat Roofs

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 jointless seamless barrier to prevent water ingress.

WHAT NEXT?

This terrace balcony area in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire SA61, was showing signs of wear and rot and the owners also wanted to give it a general facelift. They opted for a 20 year Protec system, finished with porcelain tiling with adjustable angle and height pads. The photos above show the final stage of the roof prior to the laying of the porcelain tiling (which we also did), showing the level of waterproofing and protection the polymer system provides.

The NHS Foundation Hospital at Chorley in Preston, Lancashire, was in need of a high performance, durable cold roof for one of its many smaller roofing areas. 

We installed a 20 Year Sika Liquid Plastics Decotane Ultra roof, which has excellent specifications and also comes with an optional maintenance package.

This insulated terrace roof in the small village of Carno in Powys SY17 required warm roof insulation, noggings/noggins fitted for balustrade railings, and a tapered gradient for drainage. It also enjoys a fully waterproof and weatherproof 20 year guaranteed polymer system.

These three dormer windows in Borth, near Aberystwyth in Ceredigion SY24, were in need of (cold roof) upgrade with correct ventilation including over-fascia ventilation. The work required a 50mm air gap with 4m maximum air travel.

These two roofs in Winskill, near Penrith in Cumbria CA10, required a high degree of careful tapering to create an insulated polymer gradient that will channel rainwater away from the central skylight and away from the adjoining wall. This will protect the integrity of both the skylight and the roof substrate, ensuring water will not pool or sit.

This balcony terrace, intended to provide a cosy outdoor space, had seen better days - as the photographs show. To refurbish it and correct the problems that had caused the issues in the first place, we stripped everything back, then gradually layered in the polymer system to create a strong, jointless and seamless balcony that should last for many years to come. We completed with a tough, anti-skid quartz finish - chosen by the customer from our range of colour options - creating a safe, ordered, efficently drained and aesthetically pleasing, weatherproof space. 

This roof in Llandinam (SY17) was an unusual project in terms of shape and design - constituting a wide strip of roofing surrounding a central opening for an extra large skylight lantern aperture over a sun room. The roofing area also needed to be meticulously tapered to the guttering to provide thorough drainage from the central area to avoid puddling, which could damage the roof structure and impair safety. We used two outlets draining to a standard downpipe via a special flat roof outlet.

This detached building in Hereford required a new warm roof (for more on warm roofing click here) to comply with building regulations and create a cosy environment below. The photographs show the overall building as well as the joists ready for insulation.

This Spar shop in Bala in Gwynedd in North Wales needed an economical reinstatement for the roof for a new commercial lease, which we were able to provide using the polymer system. The overlaid 20 year liquid membrane system provides a durable, high spec and affordable refurbishment and is supported by a 20 year insurance-backed guarantee.

As with all our polymer roofs, this shop roof was completely mechanically cured within 72 hrs, waterproof, weatherproof and safe to walk in within just a few hours.
