Specialist Installers at Premcrete

At Premcrete, we recognise that every project is unique, and so is the approach to waterproofing. Whether you choose to self-install or work with a specialist installer, we’re here to support you every step of the way. While we provide training and resources for contractors who prefer to self-install, we also deeply value the expertise and professionalism that specialist installers bring to more complex or demanding projects.

This page highlights the role of specialist installers, their advantages, and how they complement our approach to ensuring successful waterproofing installations.

What Is a Specialist Installer?

Specialist installers are highly trained professionals who focus exclusively on the installation of waterproofing systems. These experts bring unmatched experience to the table, handling everything from Type C cavity drainage membranes to large-scale podium deck coatings. They are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and efficiency required to deliver precision and reliability in every project.

Why Use a Specialist Installer?

Specialist installers play a critical role in ensuring the success of complex waterproofing systems. Here are some key reasons to consider working with one:

The Benefits

Expertise and Precision
Specialists work exclusively with waterproofing systems, honing their skills through daily practice. This makes them ideal for handling intricate installations like:
- Type C cavity drainage systems, where precision and compliance are essential.
- Large podium deck coatings, which require specialised spray equipment.

Quality Assurance
Their in-depth knowledge ensures installations meet the highest standards, reducing the risk of defects and ensuring long-term reliability.

Efficiency and Equipment
Specialists are equipped with advanced tools and systems, delivering faster and more efficient installations than general contractors.
Accountability
They typically take full responsibility for their work, offering peace of mind and a streamlined resolution process if any issues arise.

Considerations

While specialist installers offer many advantages, it’s worth considering a few factors to determine what’s best for your project:

Cost
Engaging a specialist can sometimes be more expensive upfront, but their expertise can lead to savings in the long run by minimising remedials or defects.
Scheduling
Relying on subcontractors means coordinating schedules, which can occasionally impact timelines if there are delays.
Project Scope
For simpler installations, such as basic damp-proof membranes or edge detailing, self-installation may be more cost-effective and efficient.

How Premcrete Supports All Approaches

At Premcrete, we’re committed to empowering our clients with flexible solutions. If self-installation aligns with your project needs, we offer thorough training to ground workers, RC frame contractors, and other trades. However, for more specialised systems or where efficiency and precision are paramount, we highly recommend turning to specialist installers.

We value the vital role specialist installers play in achieving excellent project outcomes, and we actively support their involvement in projects requiring their expertise.
