The Countess of Chester Hospital has benefited from Marley Waterproofing's Goldseal Plus system.

The high performance waterproofing system was installed on the new 5000m2 roof of the Chester Hospital Women and Children's Maternity Block, the largest specialist centre in the North of England. The wards and theatres were in constant use and the roof had to be installed without disruption to the day to day running of the building.

Goldseal Torch-On membranes have excellent tensile strength, elongation and low temperature flexibility. The membranes can be formed around a 30mm mandrel at -20°C without rupture. The modified coating gives a softening point greater than 110°C. They also provide first-rate puncture resistance against trafficking during work operations and long life expectancy.

The membranes can be installed over a wide temperature range and will provide high performance in all temperatures normally experienced in the UK.

Marley Waterproofing's Goldseal Plus system includes a high performance vapour control layer and insulations, ideal for both flat and sloping roofs.

The work is also covered by an all encompassing guarantee which includes installation, materials and design.

Building Surveyor, EC Harris and Roofing Contractor Weatherproofing Advisors worked together to deliver this project on time and on budget.
