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
Commercial buildings are constantly evolving. Whether you're addressing deterioration, upgrading existing spaces, responding to defects, or planning long-term improvements, building projects often involve balancing operational requirements, budget considerations, and the ongoing needs of the asset.
Our approach focuses on understanding the challenges facing your building and developing practical solutions that support its functionality, longevity, and future performance.
Building Repairs & Remediation
Buildings naturally deteriorate over time through weather exposure, ageing materials, water ingress, and everyday use. Whether you're addressing defects, damage, or ongoing maintenance issues, our focus is on identifying practical repair solutions that restore functionality and support long-term asset performance.
Building Upgrades & Improvements
As buildings evolve, spaces often need to adapt to changing operational requirements, compliance expectations, and occupant needs. From refurbishments and renovations through to targeted upgrades, we develop practical solutions that improve the functionality and usability of existing assets.
Practical Solutions, Not Just Building Works
The right solution isn't always the largest or most complex project. We consider operational requirements, budget constraints, building use, and long-term asset objectives to develop practical solutions that work for your building, your budget, and your future plans.
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 often involve balancing operational requirements, budget considerations, asset condition, and long-term objectives. Our process is designed to identify practical solutions that support both the immediate needs of the building and its future performance.
Assess
We assess the condition of the building, identify any defects or challenges, and develop an understanding of the desired project outcomes.
Coordinate
Building projects often involve multiple stakeholders, trades, and operational considerations. We coordinate the resources, communication, and project requirements needed to support successful delivery.
Recommend
Based on the findings, we recommend practical repair, remediation, refurbishment, or upgrade solutions suited to your building, your budget, and your long-term objectives.
Deliver
Remediation, refurbishment, or upgrade works are completed in accordance with project requirements, site conditions, and agreed programme outcomes.
QA and Handover
Completed works are reviewed before handover, giving you confidence the agreed scope has been delivered and will perform as intended.
Types of Building Projects We Deliver
Are you seeing signs of your asset deteriorating?
Planned Maintenance Works
Regular maintenance helps address minor defects before they develop into larger building issues. Planned programmes can support asset performance, reduce reactive repairs, and extend the life of building components.
✓ Preventative maintenance
✓ Defect rectification
✓ Asset preservation
Commercial Refurbishments & Upgrades
Buildings often need to evolve alongside operational requirements, tenant expectations, and changing building use. Refurbishment projects can improve functionality, presentation, and long-term asset performance.
✓ Building upgrades
✓ Operational improvements
✓ Asset modernisation
Interior Fit-Outs & Space Reconfiguration
As organisations grow and change, internal spaces often need to adapt. Fit-out and reconfiguration projects can help improve functionality, workflow, and the overall use of the building.
✓ Office fit-outs
✓ Space reconfiguration
✓ Workplace improvements
Building Remediation
Building defects can develop through age, weather exposure, water ingress, or material deterioration. Remediation projects focus on addressing underlying issues and restoring long-term performance.
✓ Defect remediation
✓ Building repairs
✓ Asset restoration
Exterior Refurbishment & Recladding
The external envelope plays an important role in protecting the building from environmental exposure. Refurbishment and recladding projects can improve weather resistance, presentation, and ongoing durability.
✓ Exterior refurbishment
✓ Recladding works
✓ Building envelope upgrades
Leaky Building & Envelope Repairs
Water ingress can affect both the performance and longevity of a building. Identifying the source of the issue and implementing the right repair strategy is critical to achieving a lasting outcome.
✓ Leak remediation
✓ Envelope repairs
✓ Weather-tightness solutions
Heritage Restoration
Heritage buildings often require specialist approaches that balance preservation requirements with modern building performance expectations. Restoration projects focus on protecting the character and longevity of significant assets.
✓ Heritage restoration
✓ Character preservation
✓ Building conservation
Seismic Strengthening & Structural Upgrades
As building requirements evolve, structural improvements may be required to support compliance, resilience, and long-term building performance. Strengthening projects help prepare assets for future demands.
✓ Seismic strengthening
✓ Structural upgrades
✓ Building resilience
Asbestos Removal & Coordination
Projects involving asbestos require careful planning, specialist management, and coordination with licensed removal providers. We help coordinate works safely while supporting broader project delivery requirements.
✓ Asbestos coordination
✓ Licensed removal management
✓ Remediation support
