Liquid Roofing Systems Ltd | Case Studies

Project OverviewA large commercial premises in Corby required a comprehensive refurbishment of its existing metal gutter system, alongside restoration of the adjoining metal-clad roof areas. The existing gutters had deteriorated over time, leading to water ingress risk and ongoing maintenance concerns.Following a detailed review of the site conditions, our technical team advised the contractor on the most appropriate waterproofing solution to deliver long-term performance while avoiding costly strip-out and replacement.Technical assessment and specification supportPrior to works commencing, our technical team carried out a thorough evaluation of the existing metal substrate and gutter configuration. This included:Assessment of substrate condition and corrosion levelsIdentification of detailing challenges at outlets, joints and terminationsReview of falls and ponding riskCompatibility assessment for overlay applicationBased on these findings, RapidRoof Pro Gutter, our cold applied liquid PMMA waterproofing system, was specified as the most suitable solution. Its rapid cure profile and seamless, fully bonded application made it ideal for complex gutter detailing and minimising disruption on a live commercial site.In addition, the wider metal roof areas were coated in Elasto-Kote Portland Grey, providing a protective and aesthetic refurbishment coating to extend the service life of the cladding system.On-Site Technical SupportTo ensure installation quality and compliance with the specification, we provided structured on-site technical support throughout the project, including:Pre-start site visit to confirm substrate preparation requirementsGuidance on application methodologyWet film thickness checks and detailing verificationOngoing technical availability via phone and site attendance where requiredOur technical team worked directly with the contractor to ensure correct reinforcement matting embedment, curing times and detailing were achieved in line with manufacturer guidelines.This collaborative approach ensured the system was installed efficiently, correctly, and to the required performance standard for the appropriate guarantee.OutcomeThe completed project delivered:A seamless, reinforced waterproof membrane to all gutter areasEnhanced durability and protection to the metal roof via Elasto-KoteMinimal disruption to the operational premisesExtended service life of the existing roof structureA 20-year system guarantee By combining technical specification support, on-site quality assurance and high-performance PMMA technology, the refurbishment provided a cost-effective alternative to full roof and gutter replacement while delivering long-term waterproofing confidence.
