The owner of Franklyn Village in Nelson had a problem with a part of the roof, in that after 50 years plus of service, it had begun to leak.

Previous owners had done a quick paint job to correct the problem, but it hadn't worked.

Having provided coatings to some ablution areas in the Village, Construction Coatings Nelson Ltd were asked to provide a fix for the roof.

It was decided to remove the original membrane completely and correct the falls.  New drains were fabricated and installed.  Two layers of Nuplex Soprema torch-on membrane has just been applied.  Watch this space for progress and results.
