Roofing Systems
Seamless Waterproofing for Complex Roofs
Liquid roofing systems are applied as a liquid, usually with a reinforcing fleece, and cure to form a seamless, fully bonded waterproof membrane. Because there are no seams and no naked flame, they are ideal for awkward details, refurbishment over existing roofs and buildings where hot works are a risk.
We install and repair liquid roofing in Bristol and Bath on flat roofs, gutters, balconies and around roof lights and plant, for both homes and commercial buildings.
Where Liquid Roofing Works Best
Liquid Roofing is a good choice for:
- Refurbishing sound existing flat roofs
- Gutter linings and valley gutters
- Complex details around plant and roof lights
- Balconies and walkways
- Buildings where hot works are unsuitable
- Occupied buildings needing minimal disruption
Liquid systems are often the most practical way to extend the life of an existing roof without stripping it, as long as the surface underneath is sound and properly prepared. They work well alongside single ply and felt roofs, and are widely used to line failing gutters on industrial buildings.
Expert Advice
How Liquid Systems Work
Most liquid roofing systems are based on polyurethane, polyester or similar resins, applied in one or two coats with a reinforcing fleece embedded in the first coat. The result is a seamless membrane that bonds fully to the surface underneath, so water cannot travel beneath it if it is damaged in one spot.
Preparation Is Everything
The surface must be clean, dry and sound. Loose material is removed, blisters and splits in the old covering are cut out and repaired, and a suitable primer is applied. Adhesion tests can be carried out on existing roofs before work starts.
Where Liquid Roofing Excels
Liquid systems are ideal for gutters, valleys, upstands, roof lights and plant bases, and for refurbishing roofs in occupied buildings where hot works and stripping would cause disruption.
Installation and Repair
How a liquid roof is applied:
- Survey and test the existing surface for suitability.
- Clean, repair and prime the substrate.
- Apply the liquid with reinforcing fleece to the specified thickness.
- Allow it to cure, inspect and hand over with photos.

Liquid Roofing FAQs
How long does liquid roofing last?
It depends on the system and thickness applied. Quality reinforced systems can last for many years, and longer-life specifications are available.
Can liquid roofing go over my old roof?
Often, yes, if the existing roof is sound, dry and properly prepared. That can save the cost and disruption of stripping.
Is liquid roofing safe to apply on an occupied building?
Cold-applied systems avoid naked flame, which makes them a good choice for occupied buildings.
