Penn Onn, St Brides-super-Ely, Cardiff

External and internal refurbishment of an early 2000’s modern property that has suffered from water penetration. The work has involved a detailed investigation into the causes of the penetration and the damage caused. Solutions have included maintenance free cladding, roof paving, new waterproof membrane, improved parapets and a large array of photovoltaics on the three roofs which has followed the installation of air source heat pumps. Perhaps most significantly was the removal of the ‘brise soleil’ (a screen that shades windows from direct sunlight) at the front and side of the property and replacement with a solid version that is waterproof.

The project was successfully completed in April 2004
