Roofing Case Studies

Over the decades we have been able to provide flat roof waterproofing systems to a variety of buildings across the UK, with each of our technologies, single ply membranes, cold-applied liquid waterproofing, reinforced bituminous membranes and hot melt structural waterproofing. We have separated some of these new build and roof refurbishment projects into sectors to help you find a project that is similar to what you may be working on. However, all of our Sika specifications are bespoke to each individual project, ensuring the right roofing system is selected.

If you're unsure which right flat roofing system is the most suitable for your project, our roofing Area Technical Managers can support:
