Cowboy Builders is a popular makeover show where building projects have been botched and professionals are called in to put the job right. A recently broadcast episode involved an £80,000 extension with a balcony above the new living accommodation. The work, carried out by a local builder in Plymouth, was not just poor workmanship but was dangerous. For one thing, they had tacked ordinary roofing felt to the balcony which had started leaking onto the electrics of the rooms below.

Approved Polyroof contractors SMA Roofing were contacted to properly waterproof the roof and apply an anti-slip balcony finish. Anthony Ridolpho and his team re-decked the roof with exterior grade plywood onto which they applied Polyroof 185 cold applied seamless GRP system with its BBA approved anti-slip finish. The system carries a 20 year insurance-backed guarantee for complete peace of mind. Labour and materials were supplied free of charge.

Although a lot of other work was carried out at the property, the homeowners David and Lara Rosencroft were especially pleased with the balcony where they can now enjoy the delightful views over their large garden. The show was broadcast on January 22nd with good coverage being given to the balcony restoration.
