Healthcare and emergency services solutions. Roofing, flooring and rooftop energy systems for buildings that run around the clock.
Hospitals, clinics, fire and ambulance stations and police facilities are vital infrastructure that cannot stop for the work. Specialist liquid-applied systems protect and upgrade their roofs and floors with minimal disruption to patients, staff and critical operations.
The roofing issues these buildings face. Constant use, sensitive equipment and 24/7 demand all take their toll.
Many of these structures house critical equipment, run without interruption and carry rooftop plant such as HVAC, communication antennas or even helipads. Their roofs have to be robust, compliant and serviceable, and the common failures below are the ones we address first.
Cut edge corrosion
The exposed edges of metal roof sheets degrade over time, rusting until the sheet fails.
Gutters and drainage
Debris build-up causes pooling and leaks, and structural damage if left unresolved.
Cracks and splits
Ageing materials or movement open cracks that let water penetrate beneath the roof.
Standing water
Flat roofs hold water that deteriorates the system and leads to leaks over time.
UV degradation
Sustained sun, rain and wind crack, fade and break down older roofing materials.
Thermal movement
Temperature swings expand and contract surfaces, opening joints and cracks.
Foot traffic
Roofs used for plant access and maintenance wear through, causing surface damage.
Moss and overgrowth
Damp surfaces invite moss and algae that weaken the roof and trap water.
A system for every roofing problem. Liquid-applied protection built for sensitive, always-on environments.
Liquid-applied systems overlay existing roofs, gutters and canopies, extending the life of the building without a disruptive strip and replace. A low-odour, fast-curing formula keeps occupied wards, clinics and stations running through the work, and applications can be carried out in temperatures as low as 1°C for projects all year round. Every system is backed by Basecare cover of up to 25 years on material and installation.
New and existing roofs
Applied to new builds and as an overlay on existing roofs, gutters and canopies for durable refurbishment.
Low to no odour
Very low odour on application, suited to occupied buildings where operations continue alongside the work.
Fast curing
Rapid cure times, some as short as 30 minutes, keep access restrictions and downtime to a minimum.
Built to last
Fully waterproof and UV stable for over 30 years, with Basecare guarantees on material and installation.
Flooring built for clinical demands. Seamless, hygienic resin systems that stand up to constant use.
The same liquid-applied approach extends underfoot. Poured resin and polyurethane floors cure to a seamless, impervious surface for theatres, wards, laboratories, pharmacies, corridors, plant rooms and catering areas, where hygiene, slip safety and durability are not negotiable, and where the floor cannot be out of service for long.
Seamless and hygienic
A jointless, impervious finish resists bacteria and is straightforward to clean and decontaminate.
Slip resistance
Profiled finishes give controlled slip resistance in wet rooms, kitchens and high-traffic plant areas.
Chemical and impact resistant
Holds up to cleaning regimes, spills and constant trolley and footfall in theatres, labs and pharmacies.
Low downtime
Fast-curing build-ups return floors to service quickly, installed in phases around occupied areas.
More from the roof than weatherproofing. Rooftop solar and green roofs that work for large, energy-hungry estates.
Healthcare and emergency facilities have extensive, mostly flat roofs and demand power and resilience around the clock. With the right structural assessment, that roof area can do more than keep the weather out.
Rooftop solar
Generating on site reduces running costs and reliance on the grid for buildings that draw power day and night. It also supports the NHS commitment to reach net zero for its directly controlled emissions by 2040. Panels integrate with a refurbished, fully waterproofed roof so the two systems are specified together rather than in conflict.
Green roofs
A green roof slows and stores rainfall, insulates the floors below and supports biodiversity net gain, now a planning requirement for most development in England. Views of greenery from wards are also linked to calmer spaces and better patient recovery.
Viable where roof loading and existing plant allow. Every roof is assessed individually before a build-up is recommended.
From problem to solution and beyond. Survey, installation, maintenance and specialist remediation in one place.
Alongside the systems, specialist consultations and surveys give an accurate picture of the roof before any work begins, and a vetted contractor network delivers the installation to a consistent standard.
Roofing surveys
In-depth condition assessments using drone inspection and thermal imaging, with detailed reports to inform repair or long-term maintenance decisions.
System installations
A vetted network of experienced contractors installs every system to a consistent, high standard, from local repairs and overlays to a full new roof.
Maintenance plans
Scheduled inspections and preventative care catch minor issues early, avoiding costly repairs and keeping facilities in service.
RAAC assessment and remediation
A complete pathway for hospitals affected by RAAC, working with qualified structural specialists on inspection, temporary protection and long-term roofing so patient care continues uninterrupted.
