Cefn Glas Residential Home Roofing Replacement

Project Overview

TW Group (South Wales) LTD was appointed by POBL to carry out essential roofing works at Cefn Glas Residential Home. Initially planned as a repair project due to persistent roof leaks, the scope expanded into a full re-roofing programme following the condemnation of the existing structure.
