Services
Green Roofs
Our green roof systems combine environmental benefits with architectural aesthetics. Using Bauder and Alumasc-certified materials, we install biodiverse roofs that improve insulation, manage rainwater, and create habitats. Projects include the University Campus Suffolk's spiralling green roof and the Pines Calyx's award-winning design. Each installation undergoes structural analysis to ensure long-term performance while meeting sustainability targets for modern developments.
Hot Melt Systems
We specialise in Bauder Bakor hot melt waterproofing for flat and low-slope roofs. This seamless membrane provides exceptional durability against weather exposure. Applied at 200C, it forms a monolithic barrier suitable for critical infrastructure like the Savoy Hotel refurbishment and Olympic Stadium pump house. The system's root resistance and compatibility with insulation layers make it ideal for commercial and heritage projects requiring long-term protection.
Single Ply Systems
Our single-ply solutions use Sika Sarnafil and Bauder Thermofol membranes for flexible, durable waterproofing. Ideal for curved structures like The Serpentine housing development, these systems offer rapid installation with heat-welded seams. They provide excellent UV resistance and chemical stability, suitable for both new builds and refurbishments. The lightweight nature reduces structural load while maintaining high performance in extreme weather conditions.
Metal Roofing
We install lead, zinc, and copper roofing systems for heritage and modern buildings. These durable materials develop protective patinas over time, as seen in the Coca Cola factory's profiled sheet cladding. Our team ensures watertight installations with precision detailing around penetrations. Metal systems offer longevity exceeding 60 years with minimal maintenance, making them cost-effective solutions for commercial and listed buildings requiring traditional aesthetics with modern performance.
Refurbishment
Our refurbishment services extend building lifespans through complete re-roofing or partial upgrades. We remove asbestos and install modern systems like the Apple HQ's Thermofol replacement, maintaining operational continuity during works. Projects incorporate energy-efficient insulation and compliance with current regulations. The process includes structural assessments, material disposal, and phased installations to minimise disruption while enhancing performance and thermal efficiency for commercial clients.
