Case Study: Anti-Slip Walkway & Roof Overlay Installation - Leicester

Project Overview

Premier Roofing & Construction recently completed a large-scale flat roofing and anti-slip walkway installation in Leicester, delivering over 1,000m² of specialist roofing works for a commercial client.

The project involved the installation of bespoke-coloured anti-slip walkways, combined with warm roof upgrades and overlay systems, designed to improve safety, longevity, and ongoing maintenance access across the roof areas.

The works were completed using WestWood Liquids PMMA systems, ensuring a durable, seamless, and fast-curing finish.

The Challenge

The client required a roofing solution that would:

• Provide safe, clearly defined access routes for maintenance teams

• Perform reliably around pipework, steps, and complex detailing

• Minimise disruption to the operational building

• Deliver a long-lasting waterproof finish suitable for a commercial environment

With frequent foot traffic and multiple service routes, slip resistance and detailing precision were critical.

Our Solution

Our team installed a bespoke PMMA anti-slip walkway system, carefully mapped across the roof to create safe access routes between key areas, including:

• Stair access points

• Plant and service zones

• Pipework and penetrations

• Edge protection and perimeter routes

The walkways were installed in high-visibility bespoke green colour, clearly defining safe paths while maintaining a professional, clean finish.

In addition, we completed warm roof upgrades and overlay works, improving the roof’s thermal performance while extending its service life - all without the need for full strip-out.

Why PMMA?

PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) systems were selected due to their:

• Rapid curing times, reducing downtime

• Exceptional waterproofing performance

• Seamless application around complex details

• High slip resistance, ideal for maintenance walkways

• Proven performance on commercial and industrial roofs

Using a WestWood Liquids system ensured manufacturer-approved materials and detailing throughout.

The Result

• Over 1,000m² of roofing works completed

• A standout anti-slip finish with clearly defined access routes

• Improved roof safety, compliance, and longevity

• A smooth installation process and a very happy client

As WestWood Liquids shared following completion:

“A smooth install, a standout finish, and a happy client!”
