Flat Roofs

This new-build garage in Ceredigion, West Wales, needed fully decking and timber furring (also spelled firring) to create a tilt on the roof, ensuring good drainage. The roof adjoins the wall of the main house, which means particular u-values also needed to be observed.

The end result is a roof that will withstand even the toughest weather Wales can throw at it!

A 180m2 roof area of National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth is undergoing installation as part of a wider decarbonsation plan for the public sector.

After preparation works, including pressure washing to thoroughly clean the area, three splits were found, necessitating a roof replacement.

As the photographs show, the polymer system is just as versatile and effective for smaller projects as for larger ones. We were able to construct a cleanly-draining roof area, tapered to inbuilt guttering so the water never pools - meaning…

This newbuild in Llanrhystud (halfway between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron in Ceredigion, West Wales SY23) needed a warm roof for a good sized first-floor terrace area spanning two sets of patio doors / French windows.

The weather was beautiful so it was enjoyable (if warm!) work. The client chose a quartz system for additional durability and non-slip qualities.

They now have a long-lasting, high-performance terrace overlooking the…

This enviably large 46m2 garage roof in Borth on the West Wales coast (SY24, Ceredigion) had been so neglected that nothing was salvageable (which is rare). In this case, it meant a complete rebuild. The entire job cost less than 10K.
