For this tightly managed roof repair, the main contractor needed fast and efficient repairs following the removal of the plant room and gantry of the mobile phone mast at the Blyth Sports Centre at Bolam Park in Blyth near Newcastle.

The versatile and self terminating polymer roofing material saved any unexpected surprises of non-material compatibility - as it adheres easily to different makes, ranges  & material types of single ply membrane products. This, together with the speed and efficiency of liquid membrane roofing, and the fact that liquid membrane roofing causes so little disruption to those below, made the polymer solution ideal for the job.

Due to high Northumberland winds the crane lift was put back to a Saturday. The main contractor wanted the patch repairs completed the next day, a Sunday, immediately after the concrete pads were removed and made good. The roof was then to be waterproofed immediately, on Monday the 9th of December. These dates were of course highly unpredictable in terms of weather expectations and fell less than 2 weeks from the shortest day of the year, making time of the essence.

Despite this, we completed the works on time at the price that had been agreed (in the spirit of good cooperation, as severe country wide gales over the previous 2 days had already made crane bookings, cancellations, rebookings, etc, into enough of a problem for the main contractor).

The polymer roof repairs will be guaranteed for 10 years and will last many years longer than the official guarantee.

What now?
