The commercial case

An overlay is not a shortcut around diagnosis. It is a designed refurbishment route for a roof whose retained substrate, moisture condition, drainage and details have been proven suitable.

When overlay enters the conversation

An existing roof may be suitable for an overlay.

01

Recurring leaks

Water entering at laps, fixings, details, rooflights, gutters or the field membrane.

02

Aged waterproofing

An existing covering approaching the end of its reliable service window.

03

Complex penetrations

Plant, kerbs, outlets and interfaces that make wholesale strip-up disruptive.

04

Operational pressure

Warehousing, production, education or retail space that needs the building kept working.

The overlay decision

Five checks before installation.

01

Prove the substrate

Identify the existing roof, moisture, adhesion, movement and structural constraints.

02

Remove false economy

Separate defects that can be repaired from conditions that make overlay unsuitable.

03

Compare technologies

Test application method, chemistry, detailing, programme, weather and access against the project.

04

Design every interface

Build laps, fixings, kerbs, outlets, rooflights, edges and gutters into the scope.

05

Install + record

Control preparation, weather, membrane build, inspection and handover evidence.
