Local Authorities
Local authority building stock — civic offices, leisure centres, libraries, depots, social housing blocks and public facilities — represents a significant and ongoing waterproofing and refurbishment liability. Forti Nova supplies manufacturer-backed commercial liquid coating systems to councils, asset managers and building services teams with the technical compliance and documentation trail that public sector procurement requires.
Sector Pressures & Constraints
Local authorities face a specific set of pressures: constrained capital budgets requiring value-for-money evidence, procurement compliance obligations, asset management responsibilities across diverse building types, and public accountability for building condition. Waterproofing failures on public buildings have reputational, operational and financial consequences. Budget cycles often mean that roof and gutter maintenance is deferred, increasing the risk of progressive building fabric damage.
Refurbishment Context
The public sector building stock contains a high proportion of flat-roof, metal-roof and pre-cast concrete structures from the 1960s–1990s that are now in the mid-to-late refurbishment window. Liquid rubber overlay systems allow local authorities to extend building life without full replacement, reducing capital requirements and minimising disruption to public services. Systems with long manufacturer warranties provide the asset life extension evidence that council asset managers require.
How Forti Nova Works with Local Authorities
Forti Nova supplies systems and technical support for local authority projects — working with in-house building services teams, framework contractors and specialist roofing sub-contractors. We provide full technical specification support, manufacturer data sheets and warranty documentation. Our systems are available through standard procurement channels and can be specified on local authority frameworks with appropriate product data. We do not claim to hold specific framework agreements — contractors and clients should confirm procurement route suitability.
