Services
Waterproofing Systems
Our advanced waterproofing systems protect flat roofs using bitumen, hot melt, single ply, and cold liquid technologies. Designed for durability and environmental performance, these systems prevent water ingress while maintaining structural integrity. We offer flame-free application methods for enhanced safety during installation.
Green Roofs
We create extensive and intensive green roofs that improve biodiversity and thermal performance. Our systems include modular planting units and biodiverse roofscapes that support local ecosystems. These solutions reduce urban heat island effects while extending roof lifespan through protective vegetation layers.
Blue Roofs
Our blue roof systems manage rainwater through controlled release mechanisms. Featuring Aquamodul technology, these systems prevent drainage overload during heavy rainfall. They incorporate water retention layers that support sustainable urban drainage requirements while protecting building structures.
Solar PV
We integrate solar PV systems with flat roofs using Biosolar PV and Flex mounting solutions. Our installations maximise energy generation while maintaining waterproofing integrity. The systems combine photovoltaic technology with roof protection to deliver renewable energy and weather resistance simultaneously.
Roof Refurbishment
Our refurbishment service upgrades existing roofs with improved thermal performance and drainage. We assess structural condition before implementing waterproofing upgrades that extend building lifespan. This service enhances energy efficiency while maintaining compliance with current building regulations.
