IKO Polimar Liquid Roofing for South Tyneside Council

Liquid Roofing Contractors North East

South Tyneside Council required a durable, cost-effective roofing solution for their aging commercial building. The existing flat roof consisted of three layers of built-up felt, all of which had surpassed their life expectancy and were causing leaks in multiple areas.

As experienced commercial roofing contractors, DVC Roofing recommended IKO Polimar Liquid Roofing. This innovative solution provided a seamless, waterproof roof covering without the need for a full roof strip and replacement. By using liquid roofing, we were able to maintain the integrity of the existing roof, save costs, and deliver a high-performance solution backed by a 20-year warranty from IKO Waterproofing PLC.

Whether you are managing a public building, healthcare facility, or commercial property, understanding the benefits of liquid roofing is essential for long-term roof protection.

Why Liquid Roofing Was the Ideal Solution

Traditional roof replacement would have required removing the old felt layers and replacing insulation to meet modern building regulations. This approach is time-consuming, costly, and disruptive to the building’s occupants.

By installing IKO Polimar Liquid Roofing directly over the existing flat roof, DVC Roofing provided a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality. Liquid roofing forms a completely seamless membrane, eliminating weak points and reducing the risk of future leaks.

Key advantages include:

Cost efficiency: Avoids expensive insulation upgrades and full roof replacement.
Fast installation: Minimal disruption for building operations.
Sustainability: Reduces waste by keeping the existing roof layers intact.
Durability: Long-lasting protection against weather, UV rays, and ponding water.

This makes liquid roofing an excellent choice for commercial roofing contractors looking to provide clients with reliable, long-lasting roof solutions.

Our Liquid Roofing Process

At DVC Commercial Roofing, we follow a meticulous process to ensure that every commercial roof we work on meets the highest standards of quality and durability.

Assessment & Survey: Every project starts with a detailed roof survey. For South Tyneside Council, we assessed the condition of the existing flat roof, identified problem areas, and measured the total surface area to determine the appropriate quantity of IKO Polimar Liquid Roofing.
Preparation & Cleaning: The roof was carefully cleaned, removing dirt, moss, and debris. Any minor defects in the existing felt were repaired. We then applied a specialised primer, ensuring maximum adhesion for the liquid roofing membrane.
Application of Liquid Roofing: Multiple layers of IKO Polimar Liquid Roofing were applied using professional-grade tools. This process created a seamless, flexible membrane that conforms to the roof surface, including joints and protrusions
Quality Checks & Inspection: Each stage of the installation was inspected rigorously to guarantee a fully waterproof surface and compliance with industry standards. We ensured that the roof would meet the long-term expectations of our client.
