The problem

Your flat roof is failing. Replacement is not the only option.

Common flat roof problems

  • Leaking felt. Water finds its way through aged laps, blisters and splits, and the leak rarely sits directly above the stain on the ceiling.
  • Ponding water. Standing water after rain accelerates the breakdown of the existing covering and shortens the life of every patch repair.
  • Cracked surface. UV exposure and thermal movement open cracks in the surface faster than spot repairs can keep up with.

The overlay alternative

HYDRONYLON is applied directly over the existing covering, so there is no strip-off, no skips on the drive and no days with the building open to the weather.

The liquid cures into a seamless waterproof membrane formed in place around every outlet, upstand and penetration, with no laps or joints to fail later.

Because the existing covering stays in place, refurbishment with HYDRONYLON typically costs significantly less than a full re-roof and takes days rather than weeks.

The process

From survey to guaranteed roof

  1. Survey

    An Approved Contractor inspects the roof, checks the existing build-up and confirms that the covering can stay in place.

  2. Preparation

    The surface is cleaned, local defects are made good and the substrate is primed with Primer Emulsion EG.

  3. Application

    The liquid system is applied with Technical Mesh SW-1 reinforcement, forming a seamless waterproof layer around every detail.

  4. Sign-off and guarantee

    The completed roof is signed off and backed by a 10-year product guarantee issued by HYDRONYLON LTD to the Approved Contractor. Ask your Approved Contractor about the guarantee terms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is HYDRONYLON?

HYDRONYLON is a liquid-applied flat roof waterproofing system that holds European Technical Assessment ETA-23/0735. It is applied cold in liquid form and cures into a seamless, fully bonded waterproof layer over the existing roof. In the UK it is supplied and supported by HYDRONYLON LTD, a British company with European-certified technology.

How much does flat roof refurbishment with HYDRONYLON cost?

The cost depends on the condition of the roof, its area and the amount of detailing, so every project is priced individually after a survey. Because the existing covering stays in place, refurbishment with HYDRONYLON is typically significantly more economical than a full re-roof and faster to complete. For a quotation, speak to an Approved Contractor or contact us directly.

How long does the HYDRONYLON system last?

The durability of the system is 10 years confirmed under European Technical Assessment ETA-23/0735. Because the cured layer is seamless and fully bonded, there are no laps or joints to fail over time, and localised damage can be repaired by reapplying the liquid system to the affected area.

Do I need to remove my old roof covering first?

In most cases, no. The system is designed as an overlay and is applied directly over sound felt, asphalt and concrete after cleaning and priming. A survey confirms whether the existing build-up can stay in place. Avoiding strip-off shortens the work on site and removes waste disposal costs.

Who can install HYDRONYLON?

Installation is carried out by HYDRONYLON Approved Contractors (HAC), roofing professionals trained and assessed by HYDRONYLON LTD. Each completed project is backed by a 10-year product guarantee issued by HYDRONYLON LTD to the Approved Contractor; ask your contractor about the guarantee terms. Roofing professionals can join the programme through certified training for £250.
