For their new build roof, the owners of this Oxford building chose a modern, safe, easily applied alternative to lead roofing, which also fits in beautifully with the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside.

The reputation of the liquid polymer roofing system as being 'like liquid lead' is well deserved - but it also offers many advantages over traditional lead-work:

The completed roof of this listed building in Aberystwyth shows just how versatile the liquid roofing system can be - it looks like lead, forms around details more easily than lead (it is 'perfect forming'), and indeed, often gets described as 'liquid lead'.

On this roof, the lead-work had perished and would have been 'cost prohibitive' to replace. Various alternative options exist but most (including fibreglass) do not expand and…

We then applied a two coat system to the substrate, giving the…

This bedroom roof terrace at a Shropshire cottage in Oswestry, on the border between England and North-East Wales, was leaking significantly.

The existing slabs and leaking felt underlying these were removed to give a fresh base. We then installed a tray to span the cavity, before applying a full 15-year system to join the tray seamlessly to the roof.

Work on the roof terrace was completed in just 3 days, leaving the owners…
