Project Overview
CF Roofing was approached by a homeowner in Sutton (SM2) experiencing water ingress in their side extension. Their existing GRP (glass fibre) flat roof had been leaking into their bedroom for several weeks. Seeking a cost-effective and minimally disruptive solution, they requested an inspection and a quote for repair.
Challenges
- The GRP roof, approximately 12 years old, had begun to fail, allowing water to penetrate the property.
- A full roof replacement would have been costly and disruptive.
- The customer required a long-term waterproofing solution without extensive structural modifications.
Our Solution
After assessing the condition of the existing roof, CF Roofing recommended applying a Liquid Rubber waterproofing system as an overlay. This solution would eliminate the need to remove the existing roof while providing a seamless, durable, and watertight membrane.
Implementation Process
- Surface Preparation – The existing roof was thoroughly cleaned and primed to ensure optimal adhesion.
- Base Layer Application – A silver-backed foil was laid over the roof to create a strong bonding surface for the Liquid Rubber.
- Liquid Rubber Application – The waterproofing compound was mixed, agitated, and evenly spread across the roof surface.
- Curing & Finishing – The Liquid Rubber cured rapidly, forming a seamless, flexible, and highly durable membrane.
Results & Benefits
- Seamless Protection – The Liquid Rubber created a continuous waterproof barrier, preventing further leaks.
- Minimal Disruption – The application was completed without removing the original roof, reducing time, cost, and inconvenience.
- Cost-Effective Solution – The customer avoided the expense of a full roof replacement while extending the lifespan of their existing roof.
- Long-Term Durability – The Liquid Rubber system provides flexibility and resistance to weathering, ensuring long-term performance.
Client Satisfaction
The homeowner in Sutton was highly satisfied with the results, noting the efficiency of the installation and the immediate improvement in waterproofing.
