Blue Cross Malvern

Tor Coatings conducted a site survey to thoroughly test the existing substrate and ensure any recommended system was fully compatible. This project required extensive preparation to the existing surfaces to a standard that will optimise the finish.

Tor Partner Contractor G I Sykes put forward the Tor Warm Roof System, which the client approved. A site survey was carried out and a specification produced for the Elastaseal Z Warm Roof system, utilising 120mm PIR insulation boards to ensure current building regulations were met.

Installation was carried out by G I Sykes. The sagged roof area was stripped back and repaired to provide a sound substrate. The rest of the roof was thoroughly jet washed and cleaned with Torstrip WDA10 Wash Down Agent, any necessary felt repairs were carried out. TorVap Self Adhesive VCL/CM was installed onto the cleaned felt to provide a vapour control layer. 120mm insulation boards were glued into place using Tor Bulk Foaming Insulation Adhesive. The boards were primed with Tor Bitumen Primer prior to TorVap Self Adhesive VLC/CM was installed as a carrier membrane, then Elastaseal Z
waterproofing system was installed.

The building now has a seamless waterproofing system and meets the Building Regulations requirements of 0.18 u-value due to the use of the Warm Roof system. A 25 Year Single Point Warranty and a free of charge IBG policy has been issued for the roof. An inspection will be carried out at 12 months, then inspections will be carried out every 5 years after that. These dates will be input into our Data Base to ensure that we can liaise with the client regarding the inspections.
