Completed 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…

The balcony sits on a steel-edged concrete substrate which is wicking water

THE BRIEF:

The architect owner of this 12m long, 1.7m wide rear-projecting balcony in Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY2 has specific requirements which have been carefully thought out. At the time of contact, as the photographs show, the balcony consists of clay tiles laid over screed, with no allocated drainage - meaning rainwater falls along the entire length of the balcony edge.

The existing roof terrace area was clearly no longer fit for purpose

Warm roof with raised skylight

This building at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire required a warm roof with a u value of .13 in order to compensate for an unusually large surface area of glass below (from patio doors & other glass elavations).

The system insulation was 220mm thick, fully adhered, and did not need an extra layer of ply decking to sandwich the insulation, as the insulation we used is specially manufactured to be walked on for…
