Facilities Management
Facilities management teams managing multi-site commercial property portfolios face consistent waterproofing and coating maintenance demands. Forti Nova supplies specialist systems with the technical backing and programme flexibility that FM operations require — from planned maintenance to reactive roof and gutter interventions.
Sector Pressures & Constraints
FM teams are accountable for maintaining building fabric performance across multiple sites, often with restricted access windows, live tenants, and tight budget cycles. Waterproofing failures generate disproportionate costs — internal damage claims, temporary mitigation, reputational risk with tenants, and emergency contractor premiums. The challenge is not simply fixing individual leaks; it is establishing a defensible, auditable programme of planned intervention using systems that perform reliably and carry manufacturer warranties.
Refurbishment Context
Most FM-managed properties contain aging flat roof, metal roof and gutter assets that are within the refurbishment window — too degraded for simple maintenance but not yet at the point of structural failure. Liquid rubber and spray-applied coating systems are designed precisely for this mid-life asset condition: they extend remaining service life significantly without strip-out disruption, reduce programme time, and allow phased investment across a portfolio rather than a single large capital expenditure.
How Forti Nova Works with Facilities Management
Forti Nova works with FM clients at the specification and programme stage — not just as a product supplier. We assess the asset condition, recommend the appropriate system, supply directly with full manufacturer backing, and coordinate trained approved applicators. For FM clients managing multiple sites, we can structure system supply and applicator availability to support rolling maintenance programmes. We provide the technical documentation and warranty evidence that FM teams need for compliance reporting.
Recommended Systems
Systems typically specified for this sector. All recommendations subject to project assessment and substrate survey.

Single-component cold-applied system for flat roofs, gutters and reactive maintenance works. Core FM maintenance system.
High-output cold-spray waterproofing for large commercial roofs in planned maintenance programmes.
Below-ground waterproofing for basement, car park deck and below-slab maintenance works.

Repair and detail system for localised failures, upstands, penetrations and flashings — essential for reactive FM works.
Aliphatic protective topcoat for suitably prepared metal roofing and cladding — substrate condition, preparation and primer must be confirmed.
Cold-applied pure-polyurea waterproofing membrane for flat roofs and external surfaces.
Hot-spray pure-polyurea waterproofing for large-area industrial and commercial overlay — rapid application and seamless monolithic performance.
Reaction-to-fire surface coating (A2-s1,d0 classified) for escape routes, plant rooms and internal surfaces with surface fire-classification requirements.
