John Murray Building

Before the correct coating system could be specified, Tor Coatings carried out a comprehensive free survey of the site to ensure every aspect of the project was clearly understood and all defects were documented thoroughly.

The building has a flat roof which overlaps onto the roof of the neighbouring March Building – which was refurbished by Tor Coatings in 2024. The gutters were found to be saturated and stripped back to the original deck. 

Elastaseal Z 20 was specified as it offers long-lasting waterproof protection and  fast application – requiring minimal downtime for this busy educational facility.

The works were carried bout by B&D Roofing and Building. Torval VCL, 80mm Tortherm insulation and Torvap carrier membrane were both fitted. The new Elastaseal Z 20 system was then applied over both the new and old surfaces. A new anti-skid walkway was also installed to enhance site safety.

Following project competition, a final inspection was carried out. Elastaseal Z 20 comes with a 20-year guarantee and following its first year inspection, subsequent site inspections will take place after 5,10 and 15 years.
