Behind the scenes:

With so many property owners UK wide looking for modern, striking alternatives to copper roofing (because of installation costs, insurance expense and theft risk), you might want to take a behind-the-scenes look at a copper alternative liquid roofing project in action - this one was undertaken in the middle of winter!

This copper roof in Ealing, West London, was past its lifespan and leaking in several places. The owners needed something to be done quickly, without sacrificing efficiency or quality.

  • Firstly, local builders stripped the copper and compressed cardboard insulation then re-decked the roof with neat new WBP tongue and groove plywood
  • We applied a 20 year liquid membrane roofing system, standing seams and metal edges to give the roof a like-for-like appearance
  • To get a step-by-step close look at the project, you can view the slideshow above
  • The customer saved around 50% in choosing this sytem and the excellent through-life of liquid roofing means his savings will continue over many, many years, without risk of theft and with no need for special roofing insurance policies.

When the system eventually begins eroding, it 'chalks' or flakes, rather than cracking, leaking, rusting, or rotting through. Reinstatement is a simple process - the roof is simply pressure washed clean and recoated, rendering it weatherproof, waterproof, fireproof, and 'good as new' for another 20 - 25 years. Cost would be around 50% of the initial contract - cheaper if tied in with an extension renewing windows or render at a later date.
