𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 🔎 Concealed guttering, also known as hidden guttering, (commonly called Klass fascia) emerged as a popular architectural choice in New Zealand during the 1990s. A significant issue with concealed guttering revolves around its inadequate overflow mechanisms and subsequent blockage and internal leaking. The concealed nature of these gutters makes it difficult to maintain gutter joints and keeping the gutters clear of debris, often resulting in water overflowing internally during heavy rainfall. The materials used in concealed guttering, particularly in structures from the 1990s, are susceptible to leaking due to their behavioural characteristics and their concealed nature. Detecting these concealed issues demands a keen eye during building inspections, as neglecting them can lead to severe and costly consequences.

Roof waterproofing is crucial for protecting buildings from water damage. It prevents leaks, seepage, and structural deterioration caused by rain, snow, and other environmental factors. Waterproofing extends the lifespan of the roof, enhances structural integrity, and safeguards interior spaces from potential water-related issues such as mold growth and rot. Overall, effective roof waterproofing is essential for maintaining a dry, secure, and durable building structure. #RoofWaterproofing #RoofLeakage #RoofProtection #RoofModification #RoofRennovation

We’ve had great success enhancing accessibility to heritage buildings, including projects with the National Trust! WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE RAPID RAMP TOO? ☑️ Non-Invasive Installations: Our systems can be installed without bolting to walls, preserving historic structures. Plus, concrete tiles can be placed underneath the system's feet to prevent flooring damage. ☑️Effective Communication: We continuously engage with relevant conservation and planning authorities throughout projects to uphold the highest standards. ☑️Compliance: Our systems fully adhere to Parts M & K of the building regulations. ☑️Flexible & Fast Installations: Systems are installed within a few hours, often during non-operational hours, minimising visitor disruption. ☑️Better Than Concrete: Unlike concrete ramps, which need at least 24 hours to dry in on good weather, our modular solutions can be installed quickly in most conditions, including light snow and rain. Have a similar requirement?
