Roof Waterproofing
Our Verdiseal systems provide seamless waterproofing for flat and inclined roofs using cold-applied spray polyurethane. This method eliminates weak points from seams or welds while offering rapid curing times. Systems comply with BBA standards and include root-resistant options for green roofs, with colour-matched top coats available for thermal efficiency.
Podium Waterproofing
Specialist waterproofing for podium decks over basement parking combines crack-bridging membranes with rapid 30-second drying times. Systems include integrated drainage solutions and geotextile layers, approved for root resistance under BBA certification. Our team provides early-stage design consultation to ensure watertight performance for residential and commercial developments.
Car Park Solutions
High-performance membranes protect concrete car park decks while enhancing skid resistance and aesthetics. Systems incorporate crack-bridging technology and durable top coats that withstand vehicular traffic. Our solutions address both new construction and remedial projects, with rapid curing times minimising disruption to building occupants.
Concrete Repair
Comprehensive concrete repair services address spalling, cracking, and water ingress issues using compatible polymer-modified mortars. Our systems integrate with waterproofing membranes to restore structural integrity while preventing future deterioration. Solutions meet BS EN 1504 standards for durability and long-term protection.
Joint Treatments
Specialist joint sealing systems accommodate structural movement while maintaining watertight integrity. Our solutions include preformed profiles and liquid-applied sealants compatible with primary waterproofing membranes. Applications cover construction joints, expansion joints, and detail areas requiring flexible, durable performance.
