Project Overview

A weathered flat roof on a multi-storey commercial property in Cardiff city centre, refurbished with the Tor Elastaseal Z liquid waterproofing system — no strip-out, no replacement.

Storm Coatings were appointed to refurbish a weathered flat roof on a multi-storey commercial property in a busy Cardiff city centre location. The existing roofing system had deteriorated over time, with visible wear and early signs of water ingress.

The client needed a cost-effective way to restore waterproofing performance without the expense and disruption of a full roof replacement.

The Challenge

  • Ageing roof surface — existing membrane showing wear, cracks and fatigue.
  • Exposure to the elements — constant wind, rain and temperature variation.
  • Complex roof layout — multiple penetrations including satellite dish, cables and upstands.
  • Access and disruption — work required in a busy urban environment with minimal disruption.

The Solution

  • Full roof inspection and condition assessment.
  • Mechanical cleaning and surface preparation.
  • Localised repairs to damaged areas, then priming for optimal adhesion.
  • Application of the Tor Elastaseal Z base coat.
  • Reinforcement of joints, penetrations and details.
  • Additional coats applied to achieve a seamless waterproof system.

Results

  • Seamless waterproofing — a fully bonded system with no joints or weak points.
  • Extended roof lifespan, avoiding a costly strip and replacement.
  • Durable and weather resistant — protection against UV, rain and foot traffic.
  • Minimal disruption, with no need to remove the existing roof.
  • Clean, uniform, professional finish.

Client Outcome

The client now benefits from a long-term waterproofing solution that improves building protection while reducing maintenance costs. The project was delivered on time, within budget and to a high professional standard.
