The Epping Club, a premium 5-star community and events venue in Epping Sydney, engaged Melbourne Protective Coatings to deliver a long-term waterproofing solution for its commercial roof.
With a complex roof structure and ongoing upgrade works underway, the project required a system that could provide reliable protection while integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure and timelines.
The Epping Club roof was experiencing widespread water ingress, with nearly 20 active leaks affecting multiple areas of the building.
These leaks were impacting daily operations and causing ongoing damage to internal ceilings, lighting, carpets, and critical fixtures. With a major internal fitout in progress, the risk of further damage made resolving the issue urgent.
The project was further complicated by extensive plant equipment and solar panels covering the roof, requiring careful planning and precision detailing around penetrations and junctions.
In addition, works needed to be coordinated alongside other trades, with strict timelines to avoid delays to the broader renovation.
Key challenges included:
Approximately 20 active roof leaks across the site
Risk to newly completed internal fitout and assets
Limited access due to solar panels and plant equipment
Tight timeframes aligned with internal construction works
Complex detailing around penetrations and roof junctions
To deliver a long-term solution, Melbourne Protective Coatings installed a full-system waterproofing roofing membrane using Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane.
This high-build elastomeric membrane was selected for its ability to adhere directly to prepared metal surfaces, provide 200% flexibility, and form a seamless, corrosion-resistant barrier.
Rather than applying temporary fixes, this system was designed to eliminate leaks at the source while accommodating roof movement and preventing future water ingress.
The staged approach allowed works to be completed efficiently while aligning with internal construction timelines.
As part of this Epping Sydney waterproofing roofing membrane project, our team followed a structured process to ensure long-term performance and durability:
High-PSI pressure cleaning of all roof surfaces
Re-tensioning and fastening of loose screws and roof sheets
Application of first full coat of Noxyde membrane
Advanced specialised tape reinforcement where required
StormShield Essentials waterproofing measures across the entire roof
Application of second full coat of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane
Full perimeter edge protection was installed to maintain strict safety compliance across the site.
Noxyde is a high-build elastomeric membrane designed for long-term corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and rust stabilisation on metal roofs.
Its direct-to-rust adhesion, 200% flexibility, and ability to seal small cracks make it ideal for aging commercial roofs where replacement would be costly or disruptive.
The seamless membrane forms a durable protective barrier that stops ongoing corrosion, prevents leaks, and extends the overall service life of the roof.
Our team utilised specialised tools and equipment to ensure safe access and consistent application across the entire roof:
Used to remove contaminants, corrosion, and loose coatings to ensure optimal membrane adhesion.
Allowed controlled, high-build application of the waterproofing membrane for consistent coverage.
Provided a secure working environment across the roofline while maintaining strict safety standards.
The Epping Club now operates beneath a fully sealed, waterproof roofing system, with all existing leaks successfully eliminated.
The installation of the waterproofing roofing membrane has:
Resolved approximately 20 active roof leaks
Protected the club’s new internal fitout and assets
Reduced ongoing maintenance and repair costs
Delivered a long-term, cost-effective alternative to roof replacement
By addressing the problem at its source, Melbourne Protective Coatings provided a reliable, high-performance solution tailored to a complex commercial environment.
