Roofing , Cladding & Facades
Only the best for the best
British Olympic gold medallists Laura and Jason Kenny CBE recently refurbished their conservatory with a WARMroof solid roof – the award-winning system from Prefix Systems .
Their old conservatory was in desperate need of some TLC due to the bad leaking and extreme temperatures so they decided to upgrade to a system that would allow them to enjoy their conservatory all year round .
Our trade customer who installed the WARMroof commented “ The WARMroof is the best solid roof on the market . It is a true warmroof construction and such a great system to install – we can have it watertight in just one day . Laura and Jason were over the moon with it and it ’ s not hard to see why – it looks fantastic !”

SIKA SARNAFIL EXPLOSIVE SUCCESS FOR ROYAL GUNPOWDER MILLS HERITAGE ROOF REFURBISHMENT
The high-quality roofing system was chosen after the project ’ s main contractors Courtenay Builders Limited were impressed with the results from similar Sika Sarnafil projects . They also entrusted Contour Roofing with the specification and installation after seeing its award-winning track record with Sika Sarnafil .
The Royal Gunpowder Mills heritage site had
Sika Sarnafil products installed to guarantee a stunning aesthetic and durable roofing solution .
A historic and archaeological treasure , the Royal Gunpowder Mills heritage site in Waltham Abbey , Essex , has been given a new lease of life with a stunning and sympathetic roof refurbishment .
Consisting of listed buildings , ancient monuments and natural aspect features , the site is a well-loved attraction . A busy hub of activity , it attracts thousands of visitors every year , with exhibitions and a programme of hands-on activities for school groups .
With previous roof coverings across the site ’ s buildings close to derelict , a new roofing system was needed that would both guarantee a durable solution and fit with the aesthetic of the heritage buildings . To meet those needs , Sika Sarnafil G410-15EL FSA Lead Grey was specified alongside Sarnavap 1000E air and vapour control layer .

As a site once home to tonnes of explosives and with visitors in throughout the refurbishment , the project proved challenging , requiring extensive attention to health and safety . A strict ban on naked flames and hot works meant that the plywood boards had to be primed immediately after installation and before exposure to any wet weather . The specification therefore considered this and the original system , which would have needed a completely dry substrate , was switched to a loose laid polyethylene air and vapour control layer that was more equipped for a faster installation in the expected conditions .
Securing a 20-year Sarnafil guarantee , the newly refurbished roofs have not only met the client ’ s need for a stunning aesthetic , but have also provided a durable weatherproof roofing system – upholding the heritage charity ’ s mission to conserve the site for the benefit of the general public .

Metsä Wood : Wooden roof of Macallan Distillery resonates authenticity and honesty
The Macallan Distillery and Visitor Experience in Craigellachie , Speyside in Scotland is a stunning sight . Five meadow-covered hills hide the undulating roof of the distillery . The contemporary building combines a wooden roof with glass and steel . Fast , light and green Kerto LVL ( laminated veneer lumber ) was used as part of the prefabricated roof .
The building includes a Visitor Experience centre , three still houses and a mash house with a common roof and fully glazed wall . This reflects the wishes of the Macallan Distillery , a premium brand , whose single malt whisky production dates back to 1824 . The goal was a contemporary facility celebrating phasing , authenticity and honesty .
“ Kerto LVL is a very good engineered wood material , because you can trust the material dimensions ,” says Johannes Rebhahn , Sales Director International Timber Projects at Wiehag , who was responsible for the roof construction .
