en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brett Martin has supported the renovation of the east stand roof at Swansea Stadium, replacing the original Marlon CS polycarbonate sheets like-for-like.

The repair addressed weather damage and restored the roof's light transmission. According to a statement, the roof was replaced within seven weeks without any disruption to match days. Opened in 2005, Swansea Stadium features a roof made of Marlon CS corrugated polycarbonate sheets to allow daylight into the stands while protecting spectators from wind and rain. The statement noted that Marlon CS was highly suitable because it is 200 times stronger than glass and offers nearly 90% light transmission.

In 2025, Swansea City Football Club contacted Brett Martin along with commercial roofing and cladding contractor Central Group for support in addressing damage caused by storm-related leaks. Although designed with a lifespan of less than 10 years, the original Marlon CS panels had lasted 20 years. Central Group was tasked with carrying out emergency repairs using glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) sheets supplied by Brett Martin. Central Group also conducted a full survey of the roof and recommended a complete replacement of the 1,200 square meters of Marlon CS roof panels on the east stand.

Paul Priestley, Regional Business Manager at Brett Martin, said: "Swansea Stadium demonstrates the quality and durability of our Marlon CS sheets. They have withstood the test of time for over two decades, but exposure to the elements meant they had to be replaced. The new sheets have brought a significant change to the stadium, restoring its original brightness and clarity."

Adam Vosper, Business Development Manager at Central Group, added: "The support provided by Paul and the entire team throughout this process was outstanding. Based on this experience, we look forward to collaborating with Brett Martin on more projects in the future."
