A 4500 square metre project requiring a large multi-skilled team to complete, with the flexibility to complete the works while the store remained fully operational. The initial preparation work required all exterior cladding, window frames, doors, trims and all metal beams and structures to be thoroughly cleaned and spray coated with our anti-fungal/anti-moss biochemical solution.
The Job
A 450 square metre felt roof project where the customer had noticed some water ingress into the premises. The felt was around 20 years old but replacing the felt was financially inhibitive so the customer opted to coat the roof with Elasto-Kote. Elasto-Kote is a self-priming elastomeric thermoplastic, offering exceptional, high performance waterproofing and suitable for metal, coated metal, concrete, asbestos and felt surfaces of both pitched and flat roofs.
On initial inspection there was substantial weathering and debris evident due to the age of the felt, so the primary task was to clear and clean the roof thoroughly and apply a biocide treatment which would inhibit further growth of moss and lichen.
The next step involved re-enforcing vulnerable areas of the roof (joints, around upstands and areas that looked in poor repair) with tape and resin specifically designed for use with Elasto-Kote called Karna-Flex.
The whole area was then sprayed with two coats of Elasto-Kote in a light grey colour leaving the roof looking pristine and more importantly watertight once more, with the added bonus of a ten year guarantee.

Experience the remarkable rejuvenation of a Commercial 450-square-meter felt roof Elasto-Kote treatment in Dunfermline in our transformative video. Despite being over two decades old and leaking, the customer opted for a cost-effective solution: coating the roof with Elasto-Kote. This innovative self-priming elastomeric thermoplastic provides waterproofing. See the cleaning and coating process of Elasto-Kote. The roof emerges pristine and watertight, with a ten-year guarantee. Watch the video to witness the astonishing roof work.
Other Case Studies
Roof Clean Pharmaceutical Building – Livingston
Large roof approx. 4000 square metres. We had an initial meeting with client to discuss any commercial concerns and to minimise any disruption to operations during the cleaning. We thoroughly cleaned the roof area and also the drainage systems and guttering before applying a biochemical solution to inhibit growth of moss and algae.
