This concrete and mastic asphalt roof refurbushment in SY23 (Aberystwyth, West Wales) started out as a real patchwork of problems!

As the photos show, there were different roof materials in use, and moss and other vegetation in abundance over a relatively large area.

First, we pressure-cleaned the roof thoroughly - removing all debris that might hinder installation - before coating the whole area in a primer and undercoat that's…

Abergele Hospital's dedicated, standalone Orthopaedic unit provides care for patients with a whole variety of musculoskeletal needs - meaning good access is critical.

Because the polymer roofing system is cold-applied, suitable for most substrates and faster to install than most other systems, disruption and mess are minimal. With most of our roofs, life can carry on as normal below - giving a particular advantage for organisations…

Its solar-reflective coating had worn away completely, exposing the felt, which had cracked and blistered in the elements. The felt…

A job in a million! This art deco concrete structure property situated yards from the beach & sand dunes at Ynyslas just north of Borth and Aberystwyth, needed some tricky waterproofing work over the entire flat roof.

Set at the end of the Borth Golf Links, the roof comprises a 120m2 warm room terrace finished in Forest Green decorative quartz. Frameless glass fitted to the internal sides of the parapet walls and a couple of…
