PERI UK has announced that its partnering with sealing specialist Structural Waterproofing Services (SWS). The company says the collaboration will lead to a smarter, more streamlined solution for projects where robust Type A barrier protection is vital – with infrastructure and basement construction a key focus.
The partnership unites SWS’s installation expertise with PERI UK’s BPA product portfolio and technical support, offering contractors, developers, and engineers a fully integrated waterproofing service from design through to certified installation.
Waterproofing is often viewed as one of the more complex aspects of a concrete structure – involving multiple contractors, coordination challenges, and costly consequences if it goes wrong. PERI UK says its collaboration with SWS should simplify this process, delivering a complete solution.
“For our customers, this partnership means a simplified and risk-free approach to waterproofing,” explains David Shoolheifer, Director and General Manager for Business Development at SWS. “Contractors benefit from the peace of mind that comes with a single, integrated team handling everything from product specification to expert installation and sign-off, backed by industry-leading materials and readily available technical support.”
Kim Hammond, Technical/Operations Manager at SWS, adds:
“The technical synergies between our installation methodologies and PERI UK’s innovative BPA products create a waterproofing solution that excels in both performance and practicality. Our combined expertise ensures every project receives a thoroughly engineered system that addresses site-specific challenges while maintaining the highest standards of quality.”
Kimberley Goodwin, Southern Sales Manager for Construction Accessories at PERI UK, adds:
“This partnership is about more than supplying products – it’s about working alongside SWS to ensure our BPA solutions are installed correctly, every time. Whether we’re advising on CEMflex for joint protection or specifying Dualproof membranes for full barrier coverage, we’re there to support the project throughout.”
At the heart of the offer is the use of high-quality German-engineered waterproofing solutions manufactured by BPA, including the CEMflex steel plate waterstop, which the companys says is renowned for its durability and ease of installation, and Quellmax Bentonite waterstop, a staple in traditional sealing applications. PERI UK also offer a comprehensive suite of membranes, with options tailored for both water and gas protection – all of which can be installed by SWS.
SWS remains fully responsible for design, installation and sign-off, taking on total liability for the waterproofing systems – an important distinction in an industry where responsibility can easily become fragmented.
“The construction industry is looking for efficient solutions and that includes clear and simple guarantees with reduced admin for the customer,” SWS Director David Shoolheifer says. “The real strength of this collaboration lies in the seamless integration of SWS’s installation skills with PERI UK’s deep product knowledge and technical support. This ‘one team’ mentality, as our clients see it, ensures that any technical questions are answered promptly, on-site support is readily available, and the entire waterproofing process is managed efficiently. It’s about providing a complete solution where expertise and support are always on hand.”
