Services
Waterproofing Systems
Our advanced waterproofing solutions protect buildings from water ingress while maintaining structural integrity. Systems include bitumen, hot melt, single ply, and cold liquid applications. Each specification combines durability with ease of installation for both new build and refurbishment projects.
Green Roofs
We design extensive and intensive green roof systems that enhance biodiversity and improve urban environments. Our biodiverse roofs incorporate native vegetation while intensive systems support deeper soil and varied plant life for multifunctional spaces.
Blue Roofs
Our blue roof systems manage rainwater sustainably through controlled release mechanisms. Aquamodul technology balances water storage with structural requirements, helping buildings meet drainage regulations while reducing flood risks in urban areas.
Solar PV
We integrate photovoltaic systems with roofing structures using Biosolar PV and Solar PV Flex solutions. These systems generate renewable energy while maintaining waterproofing integrity, suitable for both flat and curved roof designs.
3D Surveying
Our 3D deck scan technology creates precise digital models for accurate measurements and planning. This enables detailed analysis of roof gradients, drainage patterns, and structural elements to optimise system specifications before installation.
