Water is one of the most common causes of asphalt damage in London. The city’s damp climate, frequent rainfall, and freeze-thaw cycles put stress on exposed surfaces- whether on roofs, car parks, ramps, or roadways. Without proper waterproofing, asphalt breaks down faster and becomes expensive to maintain.
At Denco Liquid Waterproofing, we install asphalt waterproofing systems across London to help buildings, structures, and roads last longer and perform better.
What Asphalt Waterproofing Does
Asphalt is porous by nature. Over time, rain and standing water can seep through the surface and reach the layers underneath. This weakens the foundation, leading to:
- Surface cracks
- Potholes
- Water pooling
- Structural instability
Waterproofing creates a sealed barrier that stops water from penetrating. It helps prevent early surface failure, especially in areas with heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
Where Waterproofing Is Needed
We work across public and private sites in Greater London, including:
- Commercial roofs (office blocks, warehouses)
- Car parks (multi-storey, ground level)
- Residential driveways
- Loading bays and ramps
- Bridge decks and podiums
- Basement roof slabs
Waterproofing is often applied to asphalt flat roofs and structural slabs that are constantly exposed to weather.
What’s Involved in Waterproofing Asphalt
We use a layered method tailored to the site’s use and conditions. Our waterproofing process may include:
- Bituminous or polymer-modified membranes
- Surface primers for bond strength
- Protective coatings resistant to water and UV exposure
The materials and techniques we use comply with UK building standards and are suited to the London climate.
