WATERPROOFING
Safe, Practical Delivery
Many waterproofing projects take place on live commercial sites where access, safety and coordination are critical. APS combines experienced tradespeople, detailed planning and strong Health & Safety systems to deliver waterproofing works safely and efficiently, including projects requiring height access, staged works or complex site logistics.
We work with a range of waterproofing systems depending on the building type, substrate and environmental exposure. This includes membrane recoating, remedial waterproofing repairs, deck and balcony waterproofing, roof membrane replacement and preventative maintenance solutions designed to extend the life of existing systems.
Waterproofing Systems and types
Leak Detection & Assessments
Not all leaks are straightforward. Water can travel through cavities, membranes and building materials before becoming visible internally. Our team carries out detailed waterproofing investigations to identify likely failure points, assess existing systems and recommend practical repair or replacement options based on the condition of the building.
Our Approach to Building
Building issues are rarely isolated. Deterioration, water ingress, aging materials, compliance requirements, and evolving building requirements can all impact how a space performs over time.
Our approach focuses on understanding the condition of the building, identifying practical long-term solutions, and delivering works in a way that minimises disruption to live environments. From targeted repairs and refurbishments through to multi-trade remediation and upgrade projects, we work closely with clients to coordinate safe, practical outcomes suited to the building and its ongoing use.
Condition Assessments & Remediation Planning
Not all building issues are immediately visible, and problems are often connected to wider deterioration, moisture exposure, aging materials, or previous repair failures. Our team carries out detailed condition assessments to help identify likely causes, prioritise repair works, and develop practical remediation or upgrade scopes suited to the building and its ongoing use.
Multi-Trade Refurbishment & Upgrade Delivery
Building projects often involve multiple trades, staged works, and careful coordination within operational environments. We deliver refurbishment, remediation, and upgrade projects across commercial properties, schools, and live facilities, managing works in a way that supports programme efficiency, safety, and day-to-day site operations.
Coordinated Commercial Delivery
Building projects in live commercial environments require more than just the repair itself. Access, safety, communication and site coordination all play an important role in delivering works efficiently while minimising disruption to the building and the people using it.
Wondering if your building needs attention?
Check out some common signs to look out for below.

01
Cracking, Movement, or Surface Failure
Visible cracking, bubbling finishes, or loose materials can be early signs of wider deterioration or underlying building movement.
02
Water Staining or Internal Damage
Peeling paint, swollen materials, or moisture staining may indicate water is entering the building envelope somewhere.
03
Aging or Deteriorated Exterior Finishes
Weathered coatings, rust staining, or deteriorated surfaces can impact appearance, asset protection, and long-term durability.
04
Damage in High-Traffic Areas
Worn interiors, impact damage, or deteriorated shared spaces can affect presentation, usability, and ongoing maintenance needs.
05
Refurbishment or Modernisation Needs
Aging interiors, worn finishes, or outdated spaces may indicate it’s time for refurbishment or upgrade works.
06
Ongoing Reactive Repairs
Recurring repairs can often indicate underlying issues that have not been properly identified or resolved.
The process behind the project
Building remediation and refurbishment projects require more than just repairs, they rely on solutions-based thinking, trades coordination, and practical long-term thinking.
Assess
We assess the condition of the building, identify visible issues, and review the surrounding environment to understand likely causes and remediation requirements.
Scope
We develop a practical scope of works tailored to the building, operational requirements, access constraints, and long-term project goals.
Coordinate
We coordinate trades, staging, access, and delivery planning to ensure works are carried out safely and efficiently within live environments.
Deliver
Remediation, refurbishment, or upgrade works are completed in accordance with project requirements, site conditions, and agreed programme outcomes.
QA and Handover
Final quality checks are completed before handover, along with any relevant documentation, maintenance recommendations, or ongoing works planning.
