Services
Mastic Asphalt
Our mastic asphalt systems provide durable, waterproof solutions for flat and pitched roofs. Using IKO Permanite and polymer-modified grades, we ensure long-lasting performance for commercial and residential properties. Expert installation minimises leaks and extends roof lifespan.
Flat-to-Pitch Conversions
Transform flat roofs into pitched designs for improved aesthetics and drainage. We install timber or metal trusses, tiled finishes, and associated fascias. Projects include Newham's Decent Homes initiative and London estates.
Leadwork
Precision lead, zinc, and copper installations for gutters, flashings, and dormers. Our craftsmen handle heritage projects like Conybeare House, ensuring compliance with conservation area requirements and historical accuracy.
Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing
Kemper Systems and Triflex liquid membranes create seamless, flexible waterproof layers. Ideal for complex roof shapes or sensitive environments, this method reduces disruption and offers rapid curing times without hot works.
Single-Ply Membranes
Sarnafil and Sureweld single-ply membranes provide lightweight, UV-resistant roofing. These durable systems suit commercial buildings and require minimal maintenance, with options for ballasted or mechanically fixed installations.
