UK&I Birmingham Roof Defects: Best Practices, Coating Choices and Common Pitfalls Webinar

Overview

Join us for this webinar, designed to equip you with the insight and confidence to diagnose issues, weigh up refurbishment options, and specify the most appropriate solution for your clients. You’ll gain guidance on:

• Identifying common metal roof and rooflight defects, with references to British Standards and cladding durability reports.
• How to assess whether a roof is suitable for PV installation or liquid coating - and what to do if it isn’t.
• When liquid coatings are appropriate, and when a roof is beyond this approach.
• How to evaluate and specify different liquid systems (paint-type, water-repellent, and waterproof,) including real-life pros, cons, and cost implications.
• Overcladding vs. roof renewal - technical comparisons, key considerations, and budget impact.
• What to ask (and expect) from coating manufacturers.
• Real-world recoating case studies: materials, detailing, sealants, and tape solutions.
• Navigating guarantees - what they really cover and how to ensure long-term performance.
   

This session is ideal for surveyors involved in condition surveys, planned maintenance, dilapidations, or refurbishment strategies. Whether you're advising clients, managing risk, or producing specifications, you'll leave with actionable knowledge to support well-informed, defensible decisions on roof refurbishment.
