Langley tailors solution for North London estate

Langley Waterproofing Systems Ltd, the national roofing and waterproofing expert, has completed more than 12,500m2 of roof refurbishment works at a North London housing estate.

Working in partnership with their approved contractor, Keepmoat Regeneration Ltd, Langley used their experience, specialist design and reporting services to provide individual cost-effective solutions to 40 separate roof areas earmarked for refurbishment at Broadwater Farm in Harringey.

Individual surveys and core sampling were conducted at each of the 40 areas across nine blocks, with detailed reports and specifications drawn up for each. Langley’s high-performance TA-20 Flat Roofing bituminous felt membrane system was selected as the most appropriate system to act as the basis point for all areas and provided the overall finish throughout.

Working in this way enabled Langley to take into account the varying conditions of all of the existing waterproofing and create the bespoke specifications which is far more effective than a ‘one-stop’ system applied across the estate.

The ambitious project used a combination of full roof strip-ups and the overlaying of existing roof covering, where the roofs condition were deemed acceptable, providing a number of cost saving benefits.

Peter Beckensall, Senior Contracts Manager, at Keepmoat, said: “The quality of the finished project installed by Keepmoat matches the care and attention taken to each roof area by Langley’s surveying team and provides the overall estate with a waterproofing solution guaranteed for the next 25 years.”

Tom Kerr, Regional Manager at Langley, added: “By undertaking individual roof surveys at an early stage, we were able to deliver exactly what the individual roof spaces required, therefore saving on the whole-life costs of the refurbishment project.”
