- Industrial sheet roofs. Large areas where corrosion, fasteners and laps drive the work rather than the sheeting itself.
- Older corrugated housing. Roofs coated repeatedly without fixings being replaced underneath.
- Flats and walk-ups. Concrete flat roofs and shared drainage under body corporate control.
- Damp in older walls. Solid-wall stock with failed or bridged damp-proof courses.
- Summer heat on dark roofs. Sustained thermal cycling on large exposed areas.
The Housing Stock Here
Older residential stock with pitched tiled and corrugated roofs, apartment blocks, and a substantial industrial belt of large sheet-roofed buildings.
On an industrial roof, translucent panels are worth checking separately. They age faster than the steel around them, go brittle, and are both a leak source and a genuine safety risk to anyone walking the roof.

What separates two quotes is usually preparation and detailing, not the rate per square metre.
Book before winter. Coatings need a dry substrate, and contractors fill up once the fronts start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do translucent roof panels need replacing?
Once they yellow and go brittle, yes. They stop being weathertight and they will not carry a person's weight, which matters to anyone accessing the roof.
Is coating an industrial roof cheaper than replacing it?
Where the sheeting still has structural thickness and the corrosion is surface-level, considerably. Where rust has perforated the sheets, those sections need replacing first.
Can waterproofing be applied over the existing coating?
Only where the existing layer is sound, dry and compatible. Coating over a blistered or delaminating membrane traps moisture underneath and the new work fails early. That is the most common reason a roof gets paid for twice.
Do I need to find the leak before waterproofing?
If there is an active leak, yes. Water enters at one point and appears at another, so coating the stained area often misses the entry point entirely. The inspection comes first, then the system is specified for what was found.
Is waterproofing covered by household insurance?
Insurers generally cover sudden damage rather than gradual failure. A membrane at the end of its life is normally treated as wear and tear. Storm damage is a separate question and your policy wording decides it.
What is the difference between waterproofing and damp proofing?
Waterproofing keeps water off and out of a surface, usually from above or outside. Damp proofing deals with moisture already moving through the structure. The diagnosis differs and so does the fix.
