Written by Mark Poole on January 15, 2026. Posted in Uncategorised.

Skyler Contracting was appointed to deliver a full waterproofing replacement across balconies, terraces, and roof areas within this prestigious King’s Cross development.

The existing failing hot melt system was fully removed and replaced with a flameless, cold-applied liquid waterproofing solution—specifically selected to meet strict fire safety requirements and enable works to be carried out safely within an occupied residential environment.

Additional enhancements included the installation of brown roof systems to support biodiversity, alongside upgrades to rainwater management to improve overall drainage performance.

The result is a safe, compliant, and long-lasting waterproofing solution that minimised disruption while rectifying ongoing issues with deficiencies in the original waterproofing system.

Delivered within a live residential setting, the project demonstrates Skyler’s ability to provide safe, compliant, and future-proofed solutions, combining technical expertise with a strong focus on resident safety and asset longevity for the client.

This project formed part of the wider regeneration of the former Winstanley Estate, delivering 126 new residential units as part of a significant mixed-use redevelopment programme.

Skyler was appointed to deliver a high-performance roofing and waterproofing package across the development.

The main roof areas were completed in a bituminous hot melt waterproofing system, providing a robust, seamless solution suitable for large-scale residential projects. Finishes used were a combination of green roof and ballast, enhancing sustainable drainage performance, improving thermal efficiency, and contributing to biodiversity objectives.

A cold-applied liquid system was installed on the balcony areas, delivering a seamless and highly adaptable solution for complex detailing and constrained interfaces. These were finished with porcelain tiles mounted on a non-combustible pedestal system, providing a durable, low-maintenance, and visually high-quality external finish.

The completed works deliver excellent technical performance with enhanced environmental and architectural outcomes.
