Roofing in the heart of Cornwall

When you live and work in a county which is as strikingly beautiful as Cornwall, where better to be than Truro? Right in the heart of the action and with ever improving transport links, those who settle in Cornwall’s only city have a free choice of beach or countryside at their fingertips.

At Pellow Flat Roofing we love the variety which Cornwall offers and were therefore very pleased to be invited to help with the instillation of flat roofs at Christines Court, Threemilestone. Our thanks go to Ed Crossley & Associates Limited who managed the project, giving us yet again the chance to see and enjoy some of the Cornish countryside from on high.

As you can see from the photos, the project involved a series of roofs, all of which needed protection from the Cornish weather. To create the four sections of warm roof the project called for 360m2 of Cefil RP 1.5mm mechanically fixed single ply over 130mm Recticel insulation. Recticel insulation boards have low thermal conductivity ratings and high compressive strength, meaning that they can assist in meeting the required thermal regulations in refurbishment and new build projects. The Recticel range offers thermal and insulation protection for built up felt, mastic asphalt, single ply and torch-on flat roofs as well as for pitched roofs.

Cefil RP has been specially designed with cross-woven high tensile polyester. This helps to make the product more able to withstand extreme weather conditions including wind loads as well as practically eliminating cold bridging. This makes Cefil RP an ideal choice for withstanding Cornish weather conditions from summer sun to winter rain and winds. Pellow Flat Roofing Ltd is a Cefil Premier Approved Contractor and we use their products on numerous projects.

Choosing the combination of Cefil RP and Recticel meant that Pellow Flat Roofing were able to offer a 20 year guarantee on these flat roofs. Although we only played a small part in the construction of these apartments, we are proud to be involved in a project which creates stylish living accommodation in the heart of Cornwall.
