Regent Court Liquid Roofing
We were tasked with applying a Liquid Roof Coating on a residential property
The Challenge
The 10-storey tower block had only one roof-top hatch which allowed access to internal roof areas only. Having assessed that the installation of scaffolding would have been too costly and would have created significant manual handling issues, our team installed separate rope access systems.
Our Response
Following an initial assessment of the site and access requirements, our team developed a solution that combined counterbalance guardrail and rope access systems to safely and efficiently complete the roofing works.
With access to the roof limited to a single hatch, traditional scaffolding would have added considerable cost and complexity to the project, as well as introducing additional manual handling requirements. Instead, an in-situ counterbalance guardrail system was utilised to provide safe access to approximately 60% of the work area. Beyond this point, IRATA-certified operatives used rope access work restraint systems to safely reach the remaining areas of the roof.
This approach provided the team with the flexibility to access otherwise difficult-to-reach locations while reducing the need for additional temporary access infrastructure. It also allowed the works to progress efficiently without compromising the safety of operatives working at height.
Once safe access had been established, the team installed Centaur Technologies Limited’s Centech PU 20 Liquid Roofing System. The system was selected to provide a durable, high-performance waterproofing solution and long-term protection to the existing roof.
Throughout the installation, our team worked closely with Centaur’s technical team to ensure the roofing system was prepared and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements. This collaborative approach helped maintain a consistently high standard of workmanship across the roof and enabled the completed system to be issued with a guarantee for the client.
By combining specialist access techniques with an appropriate liquid roofing system, the team was able to overcome the site’s restricted access and deliver a safe, practical and long-term solution without the cost and disruption associated with a full scaffolding installation.
Outcome & Feedback
Despite battling strong winds and high temperatures, our team's work was signed off by Centaur Technical, with no issues identified and were commended for their very high standards.
‘Absolutely over the moon with the workmanship on this well delivered Centech PU 20 year waterproofing system’
