Problem The 1,400-square-meter felt roof at Clongowes Wood College suffered extensive leaks due to poor detailing from previous work, requiring an urgent solution. Water ingress occurred at the parapet walls where lead flashings beneath stone copings required better sealing, while poorly fitted drainage outlets caused pooling and further leaks. The roof required a durable overlay solution, with Nationwide Roofing & Cladding chosen to lead the renovation project.

Solution Nationwide Roofing & Cladding chose the FLEXITEC system, known for its ideal combination of flexibility and toughness, and rapid cure times. The parapet walls were closed off, and the system was extended up and over the stone copings for complete waterproofing. The original outlets were also stripped and resealed to ensure proper drainage.

Result The FLEXITEC system provided a durable, watertight solution that fully resolved the leaks across the college roof. Despite the weather challenges, the six-person team completed the project in 22 days, with Nationwide Roofing & Cladding providing a seamless, long-lasting solution, ensuring the roof’s reliability for years to come. Nationwide Roofing & Cladding earned an impressive 19,500 RESPOINTS from their purchase of FLEXITEC for this project!
