South Wales

Gwenllian Morgan Court in Brecon in South Wales LD3 7ET needed refurbishment for the flat walkway-style areas of its rooftop (i.e. between slate areas).

As the photographs show, this was well within the capability of the polymer system - the main issue being creating a jointless, seamlessly waterproof seal when the roof is of two different materials.

This was, however, no problem. The final result is neat, watertight and guaranteed to last for at least 20 years.

What next?

This porch canopy in Kidwelly (SA16 / SA17) was in desperate need of replacement as a result of continual lead theft.

Leadwork on higher roofs is frequently stolen but the easier, lower reach of this canopy had made it especially attractive to thieves.

This property in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire in South Wales (SA17) required a complete refurbishment of the existing lead awning running the length of one wall and then curving around a corner. As the photographs show, the lead had seriously perished, creating damage to the underlying waterproofing and areas of water ingress.

This complicated warm roof upgrade of a terrace in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, West Wales SA61, had some unusual requirements - including difficult detailing around a defined secret guttering system and pads for metal safety railings. The 1.6m wide terrace balcony area was showing signs of wear and rot and the owners also wanted to give it a general facelift. They opted for a 20 year Protec system, traditional-look railings, all finished with beautiful, cost effective porcelain tiling (around £14 each) with adjustable angle and height pads.

For roofing contractors, we get some unusual projects! And this one, ensuring a watertight environment in preparation for a concrete pour inside a food manufacturers in Carmarthenshire in South West Wales, shows how versatile the polymer system truly is. 

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.

This flat roof in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan was in need of refurbishment as its existing single ply membrane was leaking. With the high winds and rain of Autumn and Winter 2015, this was causing problems for the owners, who needed to find a lasting solution quickly.

We over-coated the roof with a jointless, seamless liquid membrane system which would wholly prevent any further leakage or water ingress, saving electro testing, as well as ensuring the roof would stay leak-free for at least another 20 years.

This leaking factory metal box gutter at Baglan Industrial Estate, Port Talbot, was causing untold problems for the prestigious car manufacturer having to run its business underneath it!

With our head office in Wales, Newport is easily reached for roof repairs, roof refurbishment, or new build roofs.

This garage flat roof in Newport was in desperate need of refurbishment. We stripped and re-boarded/decked, before fitting new UPVC fascias and clean, precoated GRP edge trims. To complete the roof, a full 15-year joinless and seamless reinforced liquid membrane system was applied, sealing the roof and making it waterproof, fireproof, and weatherproof.
