Warm Roofs

This newbuild in Llanrhystud (halfway between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron in Ceredigion, West Wales SY23) needed a warm roof for a good sized first-floor terrace area spanning two sets of patio doors / French windows.

The weather was beautiful so it was enjoyable (if warm!) work. The client chose a quartz system for additional durability and non-slip qualities.

They now have a long-lasting, high-performance terrace overlooking the gorgeous West Wales scenery!

The owners of this large new build on Parabola Road in central Cheltenham had very specific requirements, needing a warm roof over a truly huge, flat area.

We're highly experienced in installing warm roofs and flat roofs over more or less any size space, as many of our commercial projects, in particular, show.

This Dorma window refurbishment in Aberystwyth, West Wales (SY23) shows no job is too small for the polymer system!

We installed a 15 year overlay system 15 year, ventilation inserted, over an increase of 80mm insulated plaster board. This resulted in noticeable improvement on heat loss.

WHAT NEXT?

This seafront property in the Cornish town of Falmouth (TR11) required an overlay system for the installation of new composite decking along the entire terrace length. With its location, one of the key specifications for any installation is a very high degree of waterproofing and weather resistance / weatherproofing, which meant the polymer system was ideal.

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 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.

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 balcony terrace roof in Manchester, accessed from sliding doors, required tapered warm-roof insulation and porcelain tile topping to bring it up to the level of the doors. The porcelain tiles needed sturdy, durable support from below whilst leaving sufficient space for insulation. As the photo shows, this was achieved using a system of raised steel supports, padded from below to avoid damage to the polymer roofing below, and clips to hold the tiles firmly in place.

This new roof extension on a roof in Brentwood, Essex, was relatively straightforward despite the prominent central skylight and the fact it adjoins the main roof. The polymer system's inherent flexibility means details and joins are no problem.

As the photo shows, the finished roof is jointless and seamless, and "perfect forming" around the central skylight. It was also fully mechanically cured within 72 hrs, fully waterproof and weatherproof within a few hours, and is guaranteed to last.
