Tailored Roofing Solutions for Durham’s Key Sectors
Durham’s buildings span everything from historic landmarks and council properties to industrial estates and housing developments. Each sector presents different roofing challenges — from complex detailing and heritage sensitivity to budget constraints and long-term durability. Allbase liquid-applied systems are designed to meet these demands head-on, delivering high-performance waterproofing for public, commercial, residential and industrial roofs throughout Durham and the surrounding region.
Commercial & Industrial
Durham’s retail units and industrial parks, such as Dragonville Industrial Estate and Belmont Industrial Estate, often experience ageing surfaces, ponding water, cracked membranes and cut edge corrosion. Our liquid systems refurbish these roofs quickly, without interrupting daily operations.
Emergency Services
Facilities like University Hospital of North Durham, fire stations and police buildings require consistent, reliable roofing. Our seamless liquid systems are cold-applied and low odour — ideal for maintaining uptime in essential services.
Education
From Durham University colleges to local schools and academies, education properties face seasonal weathering, heavy access and legacy structural concerns. Our systems cure fast, resist UV damage and are installed with minimal disruption during term time.
Residential
Across Durham, flat roofs on extensions, garages and modern builds often suffer from thermal movement, leaks and ageing coverings. Allbase systems offer long-lasting, waterproof protection without the need to strip the existing roof.
Heritage & Conservation
Historic sites such as Durham Castle and surrounding listed buildings require non-invasive solutions that respect the original structure. Our cold-applied coatings provide reliable waterproofing without compromising appearance or heritage value.
Authorities & Housing Associations
Durham County Council buildings, including libraries, depots and housing stock, are frequently affected by leaks, surface degradation and tight maintenance budgets. Our cost-effective solutions extend roof life while keeping disruption and long-term costs to a minimum.
