Langley walkways and balconies benefit from focus on fire safety

Langley Waterproofing Systems Limited is a registered NFRC Safe2Torch member, ensuring that clients have peace of mind. Where we identify any fire risk, or where it cannot be ruled out, the relevant parts of our specification default to torch-free solutions, in accordance with the scheme’s guidance.

A recent example was the refurbishment of 77 West Street, a residential block in Bedminster. The rooftop walkway and patio areas required stripping back to the deck and renewing, as they had started to leak into the flats below.

Langley’s TA-20 system was specified, and any possible fire risk was avoided by using SA-20, a flame free detailing system, next to any potentially flammable wall cladding, in line with the NFRC’s Safe2Torch initiative. Langley Approved Contractor, Central Roofing & Building Services Ltd, carefully removed, stored and re-instated the bespoke metal capping on the parapets, and re-used the existing paving, ensuring cost effectiveness. They also worked closely with residents to ensure access to their homes throughout.

An extra design feature, improving rainwater drainage with new parapet chute outlets, was expertly incorporated mid-project. The walkway and patio areas are now protected for 20 years by the Langley independent insurance-backed guarantee.
