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 Roofing
Roofing issues are not always immediately obvious. Water ingress, aging materials, failed detailing, and ongoing weather exposure can all impact the long-term performance of your roof.
Our approach focuses on understanding the condition of your roof, identifying practical solutions, and delivering works safely within operational environments. From targeted repairs and planned maintenance through to roof remediation and replacement projects, we work with you to support the ongoing performance of your building.
Roof Assessments & Condition Reporting
The condition of your roof can have a significant impact on the ongoing performance of your building, yet many roofing issues develop long before they become visible internally. Factors such as weather exposure, aging materials, and failed detailing can all affect roofing performance over time. We assess existing conditions, identify areas of concern, and provide practical recommendations suited to your building and long-term maintenance goals.
Roof Repairs & Remediation
Not all roofing issues require a full roof replacement. Localised leaks, deteriorated flashings, damaged roofing components, and isolated areas of failure can often be addressed through targeted repair and remediation works. We assess the condition of your roof and recommend practical solutions suited to the extent of deterioration and the needs of your building.
Roof Replacement & Renewal
As roofing systems age, there can come a point where ongoing repairs are no longer the most practical long-term solution. Factors such as widespread deterioration, recurring failures, and increasing maintenance costs can all indicate that replacement should be considered. We compare repair, remediation, and replacement options to identify the most practical solution for your building, maintenance goals, and long-term budget requirements.
Wondering if your roof needs attention?
Check out some common signs to look out for below.
01
Recurring Roof Leaks
Water entering your building is often one of the first signs that something may require attention. While the source isn't always the roof itself, recurring leaks can indicate deterioration, failed detailing, or maintenance issues that warrant further investigation.
02
Corrosion or Surface Deterioration
Visible corrosion, coating failure, or deteriorating roofing materials can reduce the long-term performance of your roofing system.
03
Damaged Flashings & Roof Components
Flashings, penetrations, and roof details can deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of future maintenance issues and water ingress.
04
Aging Roofing Materials
Roofing systems naturally deteriorate with age and may become less effective at protecting your building from environmental conditions.
05
Increasing Maintenance Requirements
Frequent repairs and recurring issues can indicate that larger remediation works should be considered.
06
Uncertainty Around Roof Condition
Many roofing issues develop gradually and may not be visible from ground level, making it difficult to understand the true condition of your roof without a professional assessment.
The process behind the project
Understanding the condition of your roof, the extent of deterioration, and the long-term maintenance requirements of your building all play an important role in determining the right approach.
Assess
We assess the condition of your roof and identify visible signs of deterioration, damage, maintenance concerns, and potential areas requiring further investigation.
Investigate
Not all roofing issues have an obvious cause. Where required, we carry out further investigations to better understand the condition of your roofing system and identify underlying causes of failure.
Recommend
Once the condition of your roof is understood, we compare repair, remediation, maintenance, and replacement options to determine the most practical solution for your building.
Deliver
Once the most practical solution has been identified works are delivered. This may involve targeted repairs, roof remediation works, or full roof replacement, depending on the condition of your roofing your preference for the solution.
QA and Handover
Completed works are reviewed against project requirements before final handover, including any relevant documentation, maintenance recommendations, or future planning considerations.
Types of Roofing Projects We Deliver
What stage of your roof's lifecycle are you in?
Roof Condition Assessments
Understanding the condition of your roof is often the first step in determining whether maintenance, repairs, remediation, or replacement is required.
✓ Roof condition assessments
✓ Lifecycle planning
✓ Repair vs replacement guidance
Roof Maintenance Programmes
Regular inspections and planned maintenance can help identify issues early and support the ongoing performance of your roofing system.
✓ Planned maintenance programmes
✓ Roof condition reporting
✓ Lifecycle planning
Specialist Roof Repairs
Not all roofing issues require full remediation or replacement. Localised defects, damaged components, and isolated failures can often be addressed through targeted repair works.
✓ Leak investigations
✓ Flashing and detail repairs
✓ Targeted defect remediation
Roof Remediation Projects
Where deterioration is more widespread, remediation works can help address defects and extend the service life of your roof without requiring full replacement.
✓ Corrosion and deterioration repairs
✓ Flashing and penetration upgrades
✓ Deferred replacement strategies
Commercial Roof Replacement
As roofing systems reach the end of their service life, replacement may become the most practical long-term solution. Factors such as tenant requirements, building occupancy, and ongoing site operations can all influence how replacement works are delivered.
✓ Re-roofing projects
✓ Roof replacement planning
✓ Occupied buildings
Roof Access Systems
Safe access plays an important role in the ongoing maintenance and management of roofing assets. Access systems can support inspections, maintenance activities, and ongoing compliance requirements.
✓ EngCert Anchors
✓ Catwalk & Catwalk Lite
✓ Raptor Rail
Asbestos Roof Replacement
Older asbestos roofing materials can deteriorate over time and may require replacement as part of a long-term asset management strategy.
✓ Asbestos roof assessments
✓ Encapsulation solutions
✓ Asbestos roof replacement
Difficult Access Roofing
Some roofing projects involve areas that can be difficult to access safely and efficiently using traditional methods. We assess the access requirements of your project and utilise practical solutions where specialist access methods are required.
✓ Rope access roofing
✓ Complex access solutions
✓ High-rise environments
Industrial Roofing
Industrial roofing projects often involve operational constraints that can influence how works are planned and delivered. Factors such as ongoing production, complex roof penetrations, plant equipment, and restricted access requirements can all impact the approach required.
✓ Complex roof penetrations
✓ Operational facilities
✓ Staged project delivery
