This residential car park in Belsize Park, Hampstead Heath, Camden (NW3) suffered a serious flood from the upper main road due to on-street rainwater drains being blocked solid from lack of maintenance. Although not historically a flood prone area, heavy rain and flooding wrought by climate change resulted in two houses and three apartments being flooded to a depth of one metre. This led residents to take preventive measures to decrease their reliance on external drain maintenance.
This new electricity substation in Hereford, built to improve power supply to the city's homes, was being built from scratch and needed a good, high-spec, fully weatherproof and long-lasting roof from the outset.
We used a guaranteed 20 year protection system, installation as shown in the pictures above.
The polymer system we used - Protec - is also ideal for reinstating existing power substations with zero fall, since Protec is zero fall certified to exceed the designed lifespan.

This portable cabin style warehouse office block on a small industrial estate at Berkeley Heath between Bristol and Gloucester (GL13 9EU) needed its roof refurbished.
As usual, we began by meticulously going over the existing roof, clearing debris, pressure-cleaning, making repairs, and so on. Only then do we apply base coat, fully sealing the area. We then applied a high-spec, jointless, seamless top coat that makes water ingress impossible and which is fully fireproof, weatherproof, UV proof, waterproof and more.

The NHS Foundation Hospital at Chorley in Preston, Lancashire, was in need of a high performance, durable cold roof for one of its many smaller roofing areas.
We installed a 20 Year Sika Liquid Plastics Decotane Ultra roof, which has excellent specifications and also comes with an optional maintenance package.
This Spar shop in Bala in Gwynedd in North Wales needed an economical reinstatement for the roof for a new commercial lease, which we were able to provide using the polymer system. The overlaid 20 year liquid membrane system provides a durable, high spec and affordable refurbishment and is supported by a 20 year insurance-backed guarantee.
As with all our polymer roofs, this shop roof was completely mechanically cured within 72 hrs, waterproof, weatherproof and safe to walk in within just a few hours.

This polymer flat roof on a school outbuilding roof in Essex, was relatively straightforward despite overhanging trees and the (minor) central ventilation pipe. As you can see from first photo the underlying surface had numerous gaps and uneven points, with the later photographs demonstrating how well the polymer system's inherent flexibility levels all of this out, creating a perfect jointless and seamless finish.
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.
