Canford Cliffs

Our next case study is about a 9 year old property in Canford Cliffs which was a NHBC registered build, in other words, signed off by one of the country’s most well known and respected house building council-insurance companies. This house builder is currently still building houses. Our client received a full insurance payout that covered all our work.

What was the problem?

This roof was installed very badly with no falls and insufficient drainage, resulting in up to 4 inches of standing water.

1) Causing leaks through badly installed membrane laps

2) Excessive weight from the amount of water on a roof not designed to take the weight

3) In winter this freezes and causes heat loss

 What was the solution?

• We installed an ADDITIONAL tapered warm room on top of the existing 150mm flat insulation
• Created new gutters around the perimeter
• Produced extra drainage outlets
• Lastly, capped the perimeter walls with our aluminum capping

This property was suffering a serious water ingress problem all around the perimeter which was mostly unseen inside the property. Therefore, risking serious structural damage if this problem was left. We provided an in-depth inspection with a report and made sure the customer received an insurance payout before the 10-year policy expiry date.

The customer was very grateful and gave us a 5-star Trust Pilot review.
