An effective roof water proofing solution

Scope of works

• Access scaffolding provided
• Existing surface for re-covering prepared
• Provision of a cold liquid applied roof covering

Background
Barry Stewart & Sons Ltd were required to provide an effective maintenance solution to a leaking roof, which covers high tech. science laboratories containing extremely valuable equipment. Due to the nature of the work, a solution was required that did not involve stripping off the entire roof. Therefore, a specialist roof coating was supplied to cover the original roof, which ensured minimum disruption.

Benefits

• A temporary roof did not need to be erected, which meant instant cost savings.
• A 10 year insurance backed guarantee ensures peace of mind.
• There was minimum disruption, and staff at the laboratory, were able to continue to work whilst the repairs were carried out, which meant that they did not experience any downtime due to the repairs to the roof.

Daren Flight MRICS, ATP Group Partnership, Contract Administrator, said,

“The TOR roof coating allowed our client to carry on with his business without any disruption, due to the system being an overcoat. Hot work permits were not necessary, which if they had been would have caused our client and his insurer’s great concern. The finished product looks great and to date is performing as promised”.
