Concrete Repairs
Makers Construction specialises in comprehensive concrete repair solutions, addressing spalling, delamination, and carbonation issues. Our techniques include hydro-demolition, hand-placed mortars, and sprayed concrete applications. We utilise advanced diagnostics to identify root causes, ensuring long-term durability. With over 30 years of experience, we deliver guaranteed repairs compliant with industry standards, supported by a dedicated workforce and manufacturer partnerships.
Cathodic Protection
Our cathodic protection systems combat reinforced concrete corrosion through electro-chemical techniques. We implement surface-applied inhibitors, galvanic anodes, and impressed current systems. Each solution is tailored to structural needs, with ongoing monitoring via embedded probes. Backed by industry awards, our expertise ensures asset longevity, particularly in chloride-contaminated environments like multi-storey car parks.
Roofing Refurbishment
Makers offers liquid-applied waterproofing and roofing systems for flat and pitched roofs. Our cold-applied solutions provide fast installation with minimal disruption. Certified by the NFRC and LRWA, we use proven technologies like built-up warm roofs and inverted systems. Projects include commercial buildings and heritage sites, with guarantees from manufacturers and our 10-year warranty.
Car Park Refurbishment
We deliver full-cycle car park refurbishments, from diagnostics to completion. Services include structural repairs, waterproofing, lighting upgrades, and expansion joint installation. With over 900 completed projects, we address chloride contamination and carbonation issues. Our BPA membership ensures adherence to best practices, with schemes achieving ParkMark accreditation and SIRAS Gold Certification.
Testing & Investigation
Our testing services identify concrete degradation causes through carbonation analysis, chloride testing, and corrosion rate monitoring. We provide independent reports with remedial proposals and budget forecasts. Utilising EMAD evaluation and cell contour plotting, we ensure accurate diagnoses. This data-driven approach underpins cost-effective, guaranteed refurbishment strategies aligned with CRA standards.
