Parapet walls are exposed to weather on both sides, making them the most vulnerable masonry element on any building. In Stratford, Victorian and Georgian terraces, converted warehouses, and flat-roofed buildings all rely on parapets. The 2012 Olympic regeneration transformed Stratford with vast new-build apartment complexes featuring single-ply membrane and green roofing systems. Behind the gleaming towers, Victorian terraces on The Grove and Romford Road retain original slate an Common failures include cracked or displaced coping stones that allow water into the wall core, failed DPC (damp-proof course) that lets moisture track downward, eroded pointing that admits rain, and deteriorated render that traps moisture behind it.
We repair parapets using methods appropriate to the building’s age and construction. For pre-1930s properties in Stratford: lime mortar repointing (never cement), lead or zinc DPC flashings, natural stone or reclaimed brick copings, and breathable lime render. For post-war and modern buildings: cement mortar repointing, bituminous DPC, concrete or reconstituted stone copings, and sand-cement render with waterproof additive. Each method is specified to suit the wall’s materials and exposure.
The most critical element of any parapet repair is the DPC. This is the horizontal waterproof membrane that sits under the coping stones and prevents water from tracking down through the wall into the building. New-build apartment complexes suffer early membrane failures where contractors cut corners during the Olympic rush. Victorian terraces on side streets have severely weathered slate from 130 years of East London pollution. Flat roofs on inter-war prop We install new DPC using either traditional lead tray or modern bituminous membrane, with proper overhangs and drip details to direct water away from the wall face. Without a functioning DPC, even perfectly repointed masonry will eventually fail.
