Services
Concrete Repairs
Our concrete repair specialists utilise advanced techniques including hydro-demolition, sprayed concrete, and proprietary repair mortars to restore structural integrity. We conduct comprehensive diagnostics through carbonation testing and chloride analysis to determine appropriate repair strategies. With over 30 years' experience, our team delivers guaranteed solutions for spalled, delaminated, or corroded concrete elements in commercial buildings, infrastructure, and multi-storey car parks. All repairs incorporate compatible protective coatings to prevent future deterioration.
Cathodic Protection
We implement electro-chemical corrosion control systems including impressed current cathodic protection, galvanic anodes, and surface-applied inhibitors. Our technical team designs tailored solutions for chloride-contaminated structures, deep carbonation issues, and marine environments. Systems incorporate monitoring probes for ongoing performance assessment, with designs validated through embedded corrosion rate measurements and remote data transmission capabilities.
Roofing Refurbishment
Our roofing solutions include liquid-applied waterproofing, built-up warm roofs, and metal sheet coating systems for commercial and industrial buildings. We specialise in cold-applied, fast-installation membranes that minimise business disruption while providing guaranteed watertightness. As members of the LRWA, we combine NFRC-certified installation practices with manufacturer-backed guarantees for long-term performance.
Car Park Refurbishment
We deliver comprehensive multi-storey car park upgrades including structural repairs, waterproofing, lighting improvements, and joint replacement. With over 900 completed projects, our approach combines condition assessments, budgetary planning, and phased execution to maintain operational continuity. We incorporate ParkMark accreditation standards and LED lighting solutions to enhance safety and energy efficiency.
Expansion Joints
As UK installers of Emseal joint systems, we provide watertight solutions for structural movement requirements. Our engineers design custom joint configurations considering thermal expansion, seismic activity, and structural loading. Systems incorporate 10-year guarantees from both installer and manufacturer, with proven performance in commercial buildings, transport hubs, and infrastructure projects.
