Greenford Royal Mail Depot
The problem:
- A valley gutter single ply membrane had been applied some years ago. Various areas have failed and lifted due to debonding and splits at the top of the membrane
- There was an EDPM applied over single ply and was failing along the flash band
- Various areas of corrosion were also appearing on the metal roof
How did we approach the challenge:
Site inspection between our technical team and the new contractors to asses the amount of gutter work required – it was only the laps and joins and split areas needed to be reinforced. Various Patch tests were carried out to the required standard to see which products would work best.
Delivering the solution:
- Alltimes Advantage® for Gutters applied as the first phase of job. Advantage® Sealant was also used along with reinforcement fleece onto the Single Ply Membrane
- Fully reinforced with superior fleece to give extra tensile strength. Only the laps and joins and split areas needed to be reinforced all other areas were coated with a single coat of Advantage® for Gutters
- Alltimes Advantage® Graphene applied to cut edge corrosion areas. Along with Advantage® Sealant and Primer where required
