This impressive, multi-phased, new-build scheme in East London comprised over 6,000 sqm of waterproofing works delivered across a complex programme of development.
Skyler delivered a fully integrated waterproofing strategy designed to meet the varied technical demands of the scheme while maintaining consistency in performance and quality across all phases.
The package included hot melt waterproofing with XPS insulation, built-up felt systems with integrated PIR insulation, standing seam metal roofing and cold-applied liquid waterproofing solutions, each selected to suit specific roof zones, detailing requirements, and programme constraints.
A key element of the development was the incorporation of blue, green, and brown roof zones, forming a comprehensive sustainable drainage and environmental strategy. These systems were designed to manage surface water runoff effectively, reduce pressure on drainage infrastructure, and enhance biodiversity through varied substrate and planting approaches. Collectively, they also contribute to improved thermal performance and long-term ecological value across the site.
The programme also incorporated a range of additional finishing elements including aluminium decking, and paved roof areas.
To support safe long-term access and compliance, mansafe systems were installed across all principal roof areas, ensuring secure maintenance routes and reducing operational risk for the facilities teams.
This new build scheme located directly on the Thames was a multi-phased project for Skyler, who provided over 5,000sqm of roofing and waterproofing systems.
The full array provided were: Hot Melt, XPS insulation, Single Ply, Three Layered Felt, Green Roofs, Cappings, Paving, Cold Applied Waterproofing, Fall Arrest.
This scheme in the heart of Bermondsey offered accommodation and retail units.
The roofing and waterproofing comprised of over 4,000sqm of hot melt including complex paving finishes. This was the main part of the project for Skyler.
Separate systems used on the project for various areas throughout the scheme were: the 500sqm of three layer felt system with PIR Insulation and green roof.
Skyler provided approximately 1,100 sqm of roofing systems for a new build development for Southwark Council.
These comprised of a Three Layered Felt System with PIR Insulation and Green Roof installation.
Skyler acted as principal contractor on this refurbishment for The London Borough of Hackney.
The requirement was for the full strip up and complete renewal of the existing roofing system.
The overall project spanned over 2,000sqm and consisted of a Three Layer Felt system with tapered insulation.
Phase two of this new build development consisted of three main roof areas totalling approximately 4,000 sqm.
A Three Layered Felt system with tapered insulation & Hot Melt waterproofing with paving to over 2,000 sqm was used.
This vast new build scheme incorporating leisure, retail and accommodation was completed in 2022.
Approximately 3,500sqm of Three Layered Felt system with tapered insulation including Green Roofs.
2,000 sqm of hot melt waterproofing, 1,200 sqm of metal sheeting to the retail section of the development and a final 1000 sqm of complex sound deadening within the roof build up to the cinema building.
The roof and balcony waterproofing systems covered approximately 1900sqm.
There was a combination of Hot Melt waterproofing, a warm roof system and cold applied waterproofing across the project.
Alongside the roofing and balcony waterproofing systems, a further 400 linear metres of metal cappings were installed.
This refurbishment project in South West London required a flame free option for the waterproofing to all of the main roof areas.
The original Mastic Asphalt to the roof was over 60 years old and had failed in numerous locations.
Skyler Contracting undertook the waterproofing in its entirety; that provided the guarantee and assurances to the building owners.
A Fully Reinforced Liquid Applied System was used and proved to be perfect for a number of complex details.
