Temporary roof structures for Princess of Wales hospital
The roof of the Princess of Wales hospital in Bridgend was in a dire state, plagued by persistent leaks, damp, and mould—issues that posed significant health risks and operational challenges. As reported in Roofing Today, the Welsh Government has committed £28 million to replace the deteriorating roof. Health Minister Eluned Morgan emphasised the necessity of this investment, stating it was essential to preserve a safe working environment for staff and patients alike.
BBC News echoed the urgency of the project, noting how the long-standing roof issues had rendered many hospital wards unsuitable for use. The renovation, scheduled to last up to two years, will be carried out while keeping key services operational—a logistical challenge requiring precision planning and robust temporary infrastructure.
This is where Afix Group UK Ltd stepped in. For the hospital project, Afix Group UK Ltd supplied custom roof coverings, allowing construction teams to work through unpredictable weather while shielding hospital interiors from further water ingress. These structures were critical in maintaining healthcare continuity during renovation, earning the project widespread media attention.
