We are delighted to announce that Sika and our Roofing Contractor, Emperor Roofing won the Liquid Roofing Project of the Year (>1000m2) at the recent LRWA Awards 2026.
This follows the successful completion of the Christ's College, Lasdun Building project in Cambridge and represents a significant achievement in modern roofing and restoration excellence.
Emperor Roofing was tasked with installing the Sika® Decothane® Ultra liquid-applied waterproofing system, chosen for its proven reliability and ability to conform to complex geometries, making it ideally suited to the Lasdun Building’s intricate design.
The Lasdun Building, often referred to as the “Typewriter” due to its distinctive stepped, linear form, provides student accommodation and academic facilities for Christ College. Designed by the acclaimed architect Sir Denys Lasdun, it is recognised as a Grade II-listed Brutalist structure. As such, the refurbishment demanded a careful balance between modern performance standards and the preservation of the building’s original character.
Congratulations to all who were involved in making this project a success, and for achieving a well-deserved win at the LRWA Awards 2026.
