South England

This terrace refurb case study demonstrates just how flexible the polymer system can be. This smart property in Lexham Gardens in South Kensington, London W8, had several exterior areas showing significant signs of degradation and pooling. These ranged from very narrow areas fronting the property to a patio seating area providing usable outdoor space.

This roof terrace in Radlett near Watford in Hertfordshire, North London received a brand new polymer treatment during the winter months. As the photo shows, the terrace / balcony is subtly tapered, allowing for rainwater run-off and drainage.

One of our more unusual requests!

This one was for a domed traditional style trailer roof/outer near Woking in Cobham, Surrey, which the owner wished to have coated using our verdi green copper-alternative system. The photographs show a step-by-step breakdown of the entire process from start to finish. 

This balcony in Ascot, Berkshire was suffering from pooling and flooding, with water failing to drain away correctly. An oversight when the cantilevered joist had originally been fitted made water run off nearly impossible.

This balcony in Putney SW15 was looking worn and tired and the owners were keen for a complete refurbishment.

Our first step was to remove the existing balcony tiles before cleaning and overboarding the space. As the roof area covered an internal room below, roof coating was then applied to seal it.

Whilst not one of our jobs, we're including this here to show how versatile, modern and aesthetically pleasing a school roof complex can be. This roofing job was carried out by a roofing contractor who, like us, is a registered Tor Coatings Installer.

Tor Coatings demand the highest standards of all their installers and provide excellent guarantees to suit. This school in Portsmouth, Hampshire, is now benefitting from a jointless, seamless roof that's guaranteed for 25+ years.

The building plans for this new build timber extension in Ipswich in Sussex involved two velux roof windows set into a flat timber roof edged with a deep fascia. The low angle of the skylights meant there was no room for error in sealing and waterproofing the roof windows, making the seamless, jointless polymer roofing system ideal for the project.

Waltham Forest Council in Greater London wanted a new bowling pavilion with a warm roof build up and seeded turf roof (or Green Roof) for the park in Forest Road, Walthamstow.

One of the main challenges with turf roofing is ensuring what is underneath provides adequate waterproofing.

Working alongside the innovative contractor Jerram Falkus, we used the pioneering liquid polymer roofing technology to ensure the best possible base:

The owners of this rooftop in Camden, London needed a total roof refurbishment to transform the 20m2 area into a balcony roof terrace that they could enjoy using.

We fitted taper insulation, giving quick simple drainage without affecting where tables and chairs could go, and covered the area using tongue-and-groove ply decking prior to waterproofing the roof terrace.

The specialist balcony roofing coat was mixed with hard wearing quartz to give a bit of extra sparkle, as well as to increase the balcony terrace's resistance to rooftop foot traffic!

This semi-detached commercial roof in Beckenham, Kent, was failing badly! The GRP fibreglass roof already in place was 'tenting' because of natural contraction and expansion, which the fibreglass couldn't cope with.

We were able to deal with the problem quickly and efficiently (despite the wet weather!), repairing the roof where expansion and contraction had caused issues, and fitting extra expansion joints to allow for movement - which the liquid polymer roofing system can easily accommodate!
