Expertise Across York’s Commercial, Public & Private Sectors
Each sector presents its own unique challenges — from conservation restrictions in heritage zones to the operational demands of busy commercial hubs. That’s why Allbase liquid roofing systems are engineered for flexibility, reliability, and long-term performance. Whether you’re working on a retail centre, historic building, healthcare facility or residential complex, our solutions are designed to meet the varied requirements of properties across York and the surrounding areas.
Commercial & Industrial
York’s commercial estates, such as Clifton Moor and Monks Cross, face issues like water ingress, material cracking, and corrosion on ageing surfaces. Our liquid systems are ideal for revitalising metal, concrete, or bitumen roofs with minimal disruption to business operations.
Emergency Services
Facilities such as York Hospital, fire stations, and emergency control centres require dependable, leak-free roofing. Our cold-applied membranes offer seamless waterproofing ideal for critical-use buildings that cannot afford downtime.
Education
From the University of York to local primary schools, educational sites must address issues such as roof movement, foot traffic and weathering. Our rapid-curing systems help minimise term-time disruption while delivering robust, long-lasting protection.
Residential
Flat roofs on homes, garages, and extensions across York frequently experience leaks, UV damage, and ageing materials. Allbase systems offer fast, cost-effective solutions without the need for full roof removal.
Heritage & Conservation
Iconic sites like York Minster and city centre heritage buildings often require sensitive treatment. Our liquid coatings offer advanced waterproofing while preserving architectural integrity — ideal for listed and conservation area properties.
Authorities & Housing Associations
York City Council buildings and local housing association properties often operate on tight budgets and schedules. Our liquid-applied systems are low-impact and durable, reducing lifecycle costs while extending the usable life of flat roof assets.
