At Cleppa Park in Newport, Welsh Water required a major roof refurbishment across a 2,500m² facility. The site was suffering from severe deterioration, with recurring water ingress and widespread paint delamination affecting the existing roof. With operations ongoing, a fast, reliable, and low-disruption solution was essential to safeguard performance and ensure long-term protection.
The Challenge:
The project presented multiple challenges: a live site environment, removal and reinstatement of PV panels, and the redesign of rooflight substructures. A phased approach was necessary to maintain safety and continuity while addressing the scale and complexity of the works.
The Solution:
United Roofing Products partnered closely with the Central Roofing to supply the Gemello Revive Overclad System, providing technical guidance and full product support throughout the project. The system was selected for its proven performance, durability, and efficiency in installation.
Working collaboratively, the installer executed the over-clad solution, supported by United Roofing Products’ expertise in system supply and specification. The solution provided a new weather-tight envelope, enhanced thermal efficiency, and a 25-year warranty, ensuring long-term resilience for Welsh Water.
Benefits:
- Minimal Disruption: Careful phasing allowed operations to continue seamlessly across the live site.
- Thermal Performance: Upgraded insulation improved energy efficiency and internal comfort.
- Durability: Overclad system provides long-term resistance to weathering and corrosion.
- Extended Lifecycle: The system delivered a 25-year warranty, futureproofing the facility.
Results:
The completed refurbishment transformed the building’s performance, delivering a modernised, fully weatherproofed solution that met the client’s expectations. Welsh Water praised the collaboration between the installer and United Roofing Products, noting the high-quality outcome achieved safely, efficiently, and with minimal impact on operations.
