Client Brief:

The client required extensive roof repairs at the Manchester National Cycling Centre. The scope of work involved addressing multiple defects, including patch repairs on laps, sealing gaps in guttering, and applying protective coatings to ensure long-lasting durability and weather resistance.

Project Solution:

#thinkaccess implemented a customised solution using advanced Triflex products to deliver high-quality roof repairs. For the lap patch repairs, the team cleaned the affected areas with Triflex Cleaner and applied two layers of Triflex ProFibre to all roof laps, ensuring strong protection against water ingress. In areas with defects, surfaces were prepared with a wire brush and Triflex Cleaner, then primed with Triflex Primer before applying Triflex ProDetail for a long-lasting, weatherproof finish. The front entrance capping involved sealing the lower-level gutter with an angled application, followed by cleaning and sealing the top capping detail with Triflex Cryl Paste and Triflex ProDetail for added protection. The top spine of the roof was also prepped with a wire brush and Triflex Cleaner before applying Triflex Flex Seal, Triflex Metal Primer, and Triflex ProDetail, with a top coat of Triflex Protect. Additionally, all ridges were reinforced with Triflex ProFibre to enhance durability.
