Situated within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, this long-standing training site required roof renewal across multiple buildings where ageing systems had reached the end of their service life.

A fast-curing, liquid-applied waterproofing system was used to restore performance while minimising disruption to ongoing operations. Each roof was completed within a single day, allowing immediate use.

The result is a seamless, durable solution designed to perform in demanding coastal conditions. Initial works covered 120 m², with further phases planned.

Coastal buildings face some of the harshest environmental conditions. Constant exposure to salt-laden air, wind-driven rain and moisture can accelerate deterioration and compromise long-term structural performance.

Recent reports highlight how parts of the UK coastline are already experiencing significant erosion, with some properties at risk or being lost entirely. While large-scale erosion cannot always be prevented, protecting buildings from ongoing environmental exposure remains critical.

Our latest blog explores the challenges of coastal environments and the role waterproofing plays in maintaining durability and extending the lifespan of structures.
