This school in Borth, on the wet and windy west coast of Wales, needed a roof refurbishment for one of its portacabins.
Refurbishments involve overlaying polymer coats on existing roofing, fully sealing the roof and making it jointless and seamless.
All our roofs are guaranteed weatherproof, UV proof, waterproof and fireproof within the hour and safe to walk on after just 6 hours. The work we undertake is non-disruptive, meaning…
This balcony terrace roof in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales was pooling so much water it had become dangerous, especially for access to the outdoor steps coming down off it. As well as being year-round slip hazards, ponding and pooling result in increased weight pressure on the roof and hugely increase the risk of damp and water ingress to whatever is below.
The polymer system is quick to install, jointless and seamless…
Bronnant or Bronant Primary School located between Aberystwyth and Tregaron in Ceredigion. A section of lead work sandwiched awkwardly between various roofs had split, exposing the substrate to the elements. We have worked on many schools around Ceredigion, thanks to the polymer system's uniquely low-impact process as well as the speed of installation. The system causes so little disruption that activities can usually be continued in the…
Aberystwyth Castle is a historically important, thirteenth century Grade 1 Listed Building on the West Wales coast. A combination of tourist footfall and its windy, exposed position at the sea front gives it much to stand up to, throughout its large grounds.
The concrete walkway, located within the area of the castle grounds closest to the sea, was in a bad way, with a large and obvious chunk of weaker surfacing apparent (see photos)…
Sadly, schools are all-too-common victims of metal roof theft, especially lead - see this one in Skelmersdale and this one in Swindon, the latter of which resulted in the collapse of three classroom roofs, fortunately without any injuries. These articles highlight both the scale of the problem and the dangers metal theft can pose. With schools, it is most often children who are at risk.
Another recent metal theft victim was…
The Metropole Hotel in Llandrindod Wells in Powys, Mid Wales is one of the town's main landmarks with a long history and great visitor appeal. Its patinated copper roof spires are an integral part of its traditional look and stately charm, but over the years they have worn and perished, their seams nearly disintegrating and the copper plates pocking and eroding.
The owners were very keen to preserve the beautiful "copper look" so,…
