Skyler 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.
