Frequently Addressed Technical Enquiries
Clear technical answers regarding British Standards compliance, operational containment, and delivery parameters for commercial clients across Norfolk.
What are the advantages of a warm-roof commercial flat roof system?
A warm roof places rigid PIR thermal insulation directly above the structural deck and vapour control layer, positioning the waterproofing membrane on the exterior. This eliminates cold bridges, prevents interstitial condensation, and significantly lowers commercial heating costs in compliance with Approved Document L2.
What is cold liquid-applied commercial roof waterproofing?
Liquid-applied polyurethane membranes are installed cold using rollers or squeegees, without open gas flames or hot bitumen. They cure into a completely seamless, elastomeric waterproof barrier around complex roof penetrations, plant plinths, and gutters, offering zero fire risk during installation.
How do you repair leaking commercial industrial box gutters?
We repair corroded industrial gutters using pre-formed insulated membrane relining systems or seamless polymer coatings, sealing overlapping joints and expanding capacity to prevent internal overflow without needing full gutter removal.
