Kemper System Completes Roof Refurbishment of Iconic Historic Church

Cold-applied liquid waterproofing specialists, Kemper System, has successfully completed the roof refurbishment of St. John the Baptist RC Church in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The Grade II listed building required a comprehensive overhaul of its roof to address issues with leaks. Kemper System's Kempertherm Tapered Insulation solution was specified for the first phase which saw the refurbishment of the west transept roof.

The second phase saw the east transept roofs refurbished; requiring the use of cut-to-falls and ‘lamella’ insulation boards to fit over the barrelled roof sections. Kemper System’s BBA Certified, Kemperol V210, a polyester resin-based fully bonded waterproofing system, was used for both these phases.

The final phase saw the refurbishment of the central dome roof. After being treated with the solvent free, epoxy based Kempertec EP5 penetrative primer, Kemperol 1K-PUR waterproofing system was installed.
