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.

This 12-storey residential development required a carefully engineered, multi-system waterproofing solution designed to deliver long-term performance across a range of roof and balcony areas.

Skyler installed a built-up felt roofing system providing a robust solution well suited to high-exposure zones where durability, reliability, and long-term weather resistance were critical.

The two principal roof areas were finished with a combination of green roof and ballast. These solutions contribute to sustainable drainage performance and improved thermal regulation, whilst also supporting biodiversity.

Private balconies were completed using a cold-applied liquid waterproofing system, offering a seamless and highly adaptable solution ideal for tight access conditions and intricate interfaces.

A fully integrated man safe system was also installed across key roof zones, ensuring safe and compliant access for ongoing maintenance.
