Project Overview

A structurally sound flat roof in South Wales suffering from ponding water and failing waterproofing, refurbished with TOR Elasteseal Z — solving the standing water problem without replacing the roof.

Storm Coatings were commissioned to refurbish a flat roof that had begun to suffer from standing water and failing waterproofing. The roof was structurally sound, but the existing surface no longer offered reliable protection against water ingress.

The client needed a seamless, long-lasting waterproofing solution that could be applied with minimal disruption and deliver immediate performance improvement.

Project Details

Project type	Flat Roof Waterproofing & Refurbishment
Location	South Wales
System	TOR Elasteseal Z

The Challenge

Ponding water — visible standing water across the surface, increasing the risk of leaks.
Ageing waterproof layer — the existing system had deteriorated over time.
Detailing complexity — upstands, edges and penetrations required careful sealing.
Weather exposure — the roof needed a system capable of withstanding heavy rainfall and temperature swings.

The Solution

Comprehensive roof inspection to assess condition and identify vulnerable areas.
Thorough cleaning and preparation to ensure optimal adhesion.
Repairs to damaged sections and reinforcement of critical details.
Application of TOR Elasteseal Z, creating a seamless, fully bonded membrane.
Detailing around edges and penetrations to eliminate weak points.

Results

Seamless waterproof finish with no joints or overlaps.
Immediate resistance to standing water, solving the ponding problem.
Durable membrane able to accommodate structural movement.
Extended roof lifespan without a costly replacement.
Clean, uniform appearance and improved overall roof condition.

Client Outcome

The refurbished roof now provides reliable, long-term waterproofing even in areas prone to standing water — a cost-effective solution that significantly improved performance and reduced the risk of future maintenance issues.
