Flat Roofing Solutions for Sunderland’s Public, Private and Commercial Buildings
Sunderland’s diverse building stock spans retail outlets, hospitals, residential estates and heritage structures — each with its own roofing challenges. Allbase supplies advanced liquid roofing systems designed to suit the specific needs of commercial, industrial, public and residential buildings across the city and surrounding areas. Our solutions provide long-term protection with minimal disruption to daily use.
Commercial & Industrial
From Pallion Industrial Estate to Sunderland Enterprise Park, many commercial buildings in the city face common issues like ponding water, UV damage, cracked surfaces and cut edge corrosion. Allbase liquid systems are ideal for refurbishing flat roofs while keeping operations running.
Emergency Services
Facilities such as Sunderland Royal Hospital, fire stations and emergency service buildings rely on uninterrupted performance. Our seamless, cold-applied coatings offer dependable waterproofing with low odour and no need for hot works.
Education
Campuses like the University of Sunderland and local academies face structural and access challenges, including RAAC concerns. Our fast-curing, low-disruption systems help maintain safety and performance throughout term time.
Residential
Sunderland’s flat-roofed homes, garages and modern housing developments often suffer from leaks, thermal movement and ageing materials. Allbase systems are designed to be applied quickly and cost-effectively, without full roof removal.
Heritage & Conservation
Sunderland’s historic buildings often present unique challenges due to their age and architectural significance. Our cold-applied liquid roofing systems offer non-invasive waterproofing solutions that preserve the character of these structures while ensuring long-term protection.
Authorities & Housing Associations
Sunderland Council buildings and housing stock across areas like Hendon, Farringdon and Washington often face ageing roof issues and constrained budgets. Our systems offer long-term performance and reduced maintenance costs with minimal disruption.
