There's no doubt the recession left many people out of pocket and unable to afford important repairs on their homes, which means even as the housing market picks up again, many house purchases are for homes in urgent need of fixing up. Roofs can be expensive and money for all the different repairs can be very tight, so many people might be tempted to just patch up the roof until more money comes in, even though they know a good roof will save them money in the long run. This is yet another are where polymer roofing comes into its own as this project in Bow Street near Aberystwyth shows - the combination of high specification, durability and affordability ensured these new home owners could afford the vital repairs their home needed, without having to throw money away on temporary half-measures. They now have an excellent roof that will keep them dry and snug for at least another 20 years!
