Different Sectors Covered in Reading
Reading’s property landscape includes industrial estates, retail parks, schools, housing developments and historic sites. Each of these sectors brings its own set of flat roofing issues — from UV degradation and ponding water to thermal movement and cracked membranes. Allbase supplies cold-applied liquid systems designed to solve these problems quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re upgrading a public-sector site in Whitley or maintaining commercial premises in Green Park, our systems deliver proven performance with over 30 years of technical expertise behind them.
Commercial & Industrial
From Green Park Business Park to units around Suttons Business Centre, commercial and light industrial buildings across Reading deal with ageing membranes, cut edge corrosion, surface blistering and leaks. Allbase systems restore these roofs with minimal disruption to business.
Emergency Services
Facilities like Royal Berkshire Hospital and local fire and ambulance stations require dependable flat roofing with no interruption to service. Our cold-applied, solvent-free systems are ideal for sensitive and operational environments.
Education
The University of Reading and schools across Caversham, Tilehurst and Southcote face challenges such as RAAC concerns, asbestos felt, and regular rooftop maintenance. Our liquid systems cure quickly, limit access disruption and provide lasting protection.
Residential
From terrace houses in East Reading to new developments in Emmer Green, flat roofs on garages, extensions and apartment blocks are prone to leaks, UV wear and surface movement. Our systems seal and protect without requiring a full strip-out.
Heritage & Conservation
Reading’s civic buildings, museums and conservation areas require sympathetic roofing methods. Our cold-applied coatings allow modern waterproofing while preserving the structure and integrity of heritage surfaces.
Authorities & Housing Associations
Reading Borough Council properties and social housing across Whitley, Norcot and Southcote benefit from our cost-effective, durable systems. Allbase solutions reduce repair needs, extend roof life and qualify for long-term guarantees.
