Commercial Roof Coatings and Waterproofing Across Cheshire
Forti Nova supplies commercial roof coatings, liquid waterproofing, metal roof refurbishment and industrial flooring across the full Cheshire area — from Warrington's motorway logistics corridor to Macclesfield, Chester and the Cheshire Plain.
Commercial Building Coverage Across Cheshire
Cheshire spans a diverse commercial landscape — from the motorway-intensive logistics corridor at Warrington in the north to the agricultural and food-processing enterprises on the Cheshire Plain, the suburban commercial parks of Macclesfield and the border city of Chester. Coverage extends across both Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester council areas, as well as the Warrington unitary authority.
The scale of Cheshire's logistics infrastructure makes high-output spray waterproofing the most frequently specified system across the county — Warrington's distribution buildings routinely require treatment of 10,000m²+ roof areas within tight operational windows. Across the wider county, the building stock is more varied: metal-roofed industrial units, flat-roof commercial parks, school and healthcare buildings and food-processing facilities all create different substrate and programme requirements.
Technical support, product supply and approved-applicator coordination are managed from Forti Nova's Blackburn headquarters. There is no Cheshire local office. All Cheshire project enquiries are assessed and coordinated centrally.

Cheshire Roofing Coverage — FAQs
All answers permanently visible.
Does Forti Nova cover the full Cheshire area?
Yes. Forti Nova supplies commercial roof coatings, liquid waterproofing and protective systems across the full Cheshire area — Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, and the Warrington unitary authority. Technical support, product supply and approved-applicator coordination are managed from our Blackburn headquarters. There is no Cheshire local office.
What types of commercial buildings drive roofing demand across Cheshire?
Cheshire's commercial building stock is varied. Northern Cheshire — Warrington — is dominated by large-format logistics and distribution buildings along the M6, M62 and M56 motorway corridors. Central and eastern Cheshire has a mix of industrial, commercial, food-processing and agricultural buildings. The Cheshire Plain has retail parks, commercial parks and a public-sector estate of schools and healthcare buildings, each with different substrate and programme requirements.
Are large logistics warehouse roofs in Cheshire within your output capability?
Yes. SprayGrade achieves 600m² or more per day — the required output for Warrington's largest logistics buildings where roof areas commonly reach 10,000–20,000m². Large logistics buildings on Cheshire's motorway network are among our most common project types across the North West region.
What systems are used on Cheshire food production buildings?
Food production and processing facilities in Cheshire require assessment of surface contamination before specification — food residues, animal fats, cleaning chemicals and sanitiser compounds can prevent liquid coating systems from bonding to the substrate. Surface preparation for food-processing buildings may require mechanical cleaning and specific degreasing or abrasive preparation beyond standard roof refurbishment. System selection for food-processing buildings should also consider any hygiene or regulatory requirements specific to the food production environment in question.
Do you cover Macclesfield, Knutsford, Northwich, Crewe, Chester and other Cheshire towns?
Yes. Commercial and industrial roofing coverage extends across the full Cheshire area — Macclesfield, Knutsford, Northwich, Middlewich, Nantwich, Crewe, Chester, Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Runcorn and Widnes. All enquiries are assessed and coordinated from Forti Nova's Blackburn headquarters.
What is the procurement route for Cheshire local authority and school projects?
Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council both procure construction and refurbishment works through framework contracts. School projects in Cheshire are constrained to holiday access windows — summer holidays for the largest interventions, half-term for smaller works. Framework route compatibility for specific Cheshire public-sector projects is project-specific — discuss your procurement requirements at enquiry stage.
Are below-ground waterproofing systems available for Cheshire commercial buildings?
Yes. BelowGrade liquid rubber is available for below-ground and negative-side waterproofing across Cheshire. Commercial basement and foundation waterproofing for Cheshire's commercial development can be served. Construction joints, tie holes and pipe entries are primary ingress points in below-ground structures and require specific detailing before general membrane application.
What preparation is required before applying liquid coating to a Cheshire metal roof?
Metal roof preparation requires: mechanical cleaning of the full roof surface; cut edge treatment at all sheet laps — sealant applied to close the gap and prevent water retention between overlapping sheets; corrosion treatment at any areas of active rusting; primer application; and specific detailing at ridges, eaves, gutters, penetrations and equipment bases. Cut edge treatment is mandatory — overcoating without addressing cut edges is the primary cause of early failure on Cheshire metal roof refurbishment projects.
Can industrial floors be coated in Cheshire warehouses and food-processing buildings?
Yes. ProFast Flooring is an autocatalytic polyurea floor coating for Cheshire warehouses, food-processing facilities, distribution centres and production areas. Up to three times the wear resistance of conventional epoxy or polyurethane. Aliphatic, colour-fast and UV stable. Available in RAL colours with anti-slip configurations. Walkable from approximately 45–60 minutes where approved system conditions are achieved. Concrete substrate preparation — shot blasting or diamond grinding — is required before application. Slab moisture vapour transmission must be within system limits.
What fire protection coatings are available for Cheshire commercial buildings?
FireGuard Pro 200 is a 2K polyurea fire-rated protective coating achieving fire class A2-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1), independently tested by Warrington Fire. It is available across Cheshire for commercial and public-sector buildings with fire-strategy requirements covering surface fire-rating of internal fabric — walls, ceilings, stairwells and escape routes. It is not a structural intumescent coating and not a roof waterproofing product. Submit project details including construction type, substrate and fire strategy document for system confirmation.
Are warranties available for Cheshire roof coating projects?
Manufacturer warranties are available for most systems applied on Cheshire commercial buildings, subject to: approved-applicator installation; substrate preparation to the specified method and extent; primer application where specified; application within specified temperature and humidity limits; minimum dry film thickness achievement; completion of the full specified build-up including reinforcement; and final inspection on behalf of the manufacturer. Applicator availability for Cheshire projects — particularly larger works in Chester, Crewe or the western county — should be confirmed at project assessment stage.
What gutter relining applications are available across Cheshire?
Liquid rubber gutter lining is available for commercial and industrial buildings across the full Cheshire area. Box gutters, valley gutters and eaves gutters in steel, aluminium, concrete, asphalt and asbestos cement can be relined — subject to structural assessment of the gutter itself. The seamless liquid rubber membrane eliminates all joints and covers all lap failures. Outlet capacity must be confirmed adequate for the drainage load served — particularly important on Warrington's large logistics buildings where gutter runs carry drainage from very large roof areas.
