Roofing Maintenance & Refurbishment


Selecting products that are simple and quick to install, have non-slip properties, and are hard-wearing can have a tremendous impact


In terms of safety, an important feature of PMMA is that it does not need to be a torch-on solution. Tis makes it perfect for environments where torch-on techniques cannot be used due to fire safety requirements. As an alternative to PMMA-based waterproofing products, bitumen


membranes can also offer a solution that provides quality, durability and a strong service life, especially for flat roofs. For environments such as balconies, additional work will be required, in the


form of either adding a walkway or placing balcony tiles on top of waterproofing systems. Furthermore, in high-traffic areas, bituminous waterproofing may be more prone to damage, which is another important consideration. Ultimately, local authorities and social landlords need to have confidence


that the chosen solution is fit-for-purpose and can deliver the required upgrade efficiently and to a high-standard. Te best way to select the most appropriate solution is by partnering with an expert supplier who can provide the necessary guidance and product specifications.
