Services
Structural Waterproofing
We design and install BS8102-compliant waterproofing systems for below-ground structures. Our Type A barrier protection, Type B integral waterproofing, and Type C drained protection solutions prevent water ingress in residential and commercial buildings. Systems combine materials from Newton, Prokol, and Triton for guaranteed performance.
Structural Repair
Specialist crack and joint sealing using polyurethane and acrylic injection resins. We repair water-damaged structures including basements, tunnels, bridges, and underground car parks. Our LeakInject system restores structural integrity while meeting Type B waterproofing standards for long-term durability.
Concrete Coatings
Liquid-applied polyurea and polyurethane membranes for concrete and deck surfaces. These seamless coatings provide chemical resistance, thermal stability, and weatherproofing for roofs, patios, and industrial structures. Systems include Winkler ONE for fast-curing, solvent-free protection with 1530% elongation capacity.
Ground Gas Protection
Comprehensive ground gas protection against radon, hydrocarbons, and methane. We install sheet membranes and liquid-applied barriers to safeguard buildings. Solutions include ventilation systems for radon mitigation and hydrocarbon barriers for contaminated land developments across commercial and residential sectors.
Resin Coatings
Durable resin floor coatings for industrial and commercial spaces. Our seamless systems resist heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and chemicals. Available with anti-slip aggregates, these coatings provide easy-clean, stain-resistant surfaces for garages, shops, and ground-level facilities while maintaining aesthetic flexibility through custom colours and textures.
