What is a Liquid Applied Roof Coating?
A liquid applied roof coating is a cold-applied waterproofing system that cures to form a seamless, fully bonded membrane across a roof surface. Unlike traditional felt or sheet systems, liquid roofing is applied directly to the substrate, eliminating joints, laps, and weak points.
Liquid applied roofing systems are suitable for flat roofs, balconies, walkways, podium decks, gutters, and complex roof details, and can be installed over many existing surfaces including felt, asphalt, concrete, metal, and GRP—making them ideal for refurbishment and overlay projects.

Yes, we install PIR insulation boards behind metal panels to meet current Building Regulations thermal requirements. This integrated approach ensures optimal U-values while maintaining the aesthetic of your metal cladding system.
We install zinc (including Rheinzink, VMZINC), copper, aluminium, and steel cladding systems. Material selection depends on your project requirements, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Our team can provide material samples and performance comparisons.
We install expansion joints every 6 meters and use CT S010 specification clips that allow controlled thermal movement. This prevents buckling and ensures long-term performance across seasonal temperature variations.
With proper insulation installation, sound transmission is reduced to u003c45dB, comparable to standard roofing systems. We specify acoustic insulation where noise reduction is a priority.
Rainscreen cladding features ventilated 25mm air gaps behind the metal panels, allowing moisture drainage and air circulation. This prevents condensation buildup and extends system lifespan.
We offer PVDF and polyester coating finishes with 10-year fade resistance warranties. Available in standard RAL colors or custom color matching for brand consistency.
We provide roofing crews across the UK, ensuring you have access to high-quality teams regardless of your location.
