The Problem

Large Asbestos Roof that had failing areas and needed to be waterproofed using a performance coating to a high spec as requested by the client
When the job was near completion customer requested long term sealing for protection of the gutters

How did we approach the challenge:

We were approached by the contractor who wanted to use Advantage® for Asbestos Roofs due to their experience of the system and ease of use (only one coat needed).

We conducted a site survey with the contractor and sample patches were applied to compare against other systems.

A site specific specification was written which included the pre-sealing of the sheets with a water based product, keeping the eco-credentials of no VOCs and environmentally harmful products to a minimum.

The use of primer also improves the cosmetic appearance by reducing absorption of the top-coat into porous areas.

Delivering the Solution

Various stage inspections supplied with application support for potentially risky areas.
Specialist cleaning with filtration of the run-off
Repairs to damage
Replacement of roof lights

"We had a very tricky 1000 M2 roof to complete, but Alltimes have been excellent from start to finish, from their technical side to the actual quality of the product. Advantage Graphene is very user friendly and I only had positive reviews from the lads on site. They loved how easy it was to install and the low amount of odours it emits compared to other manufactures. The client was stunned with the finished product. I will definitely be using them again."
