Innovation at Premcrete is never accidental. It’s engineered, rooted in integrity, driven by passion, and refined through rigorous testing and real-world application. Every specialist concrete product and pre-applied membrane system we develop follows a structured journey long before it even reaches the site.
From early-stage collaboration and prototyping to independent certification, UK-based manufacturing, and on-site deployment, this article explores how Premcrete transforms ideas into fully certified systems.
The result? Faster installation, reduced waste, and long-term durability that stands up to the harshest site conditions.
Every Premcrete solution starts with a simple but critical question:
What do project teams actually need on-site?
We pride ourselves on supporting our customers with their project needs. Our development process begins by working closely with installers, designers, engineers and contractors, the people who rely on our systems every day.
As pressure increases across the construction industry, these conversations shape our innovation priorities. We focus on:
This early engagement ensures that innovative goals are practical, achievable, and aligned with real workflows, not just theoretical solutions that are detached from site realities.
Once a need is identified, ideas quickly move into prototyping. This is where innovation becomes tangible.
UK-based Manufacturing, local materials
Premcrete manufactures all products in the UK, using locally-sourced materials, wherever possible. This approach provides:
Prototyping in practice
Each prototype directly addresses challenges identified during the ideation phase, ensuring every design decision serves a clear on-site purpose.
Testing is where Premcrete's commitment to innovation truly comes to life.
For every new system, Premcrete works with approval bodies such as BBA, UKAS and BDA (Kiwa) to develop a project-specific testing plan. We also work to the requirements of the Building Safety Act. This defines performance requirements, including:
All testing is carried out through UKAS-accredited laboratories, European (EN) and International (ISO) standards. This independent verification ensures our specialist concrete products and pre-applied membrane systems stand up to industry scrutiny and, most importantly, keep everyone safe.
Testing programmes often span 12-18 months, during which materials and system details are refined, re-tested and enhanced accordingly. This iterative process ensures the final solution…
No product is released until it consistently exceeds our highest-quality standards for performance.
Once testing is complete, systems move into full-scale UK production.
Certification bodies audit our factories and may witness site installations to ensure:
Having design, testing and manufacturing under one roof gives Premcrete unparalleled control over quality, compliance and consistency, which is particularly important for complex systems such as pre-applied membrane solutions.
This way, our dedicated technical team can also provide real-time problem-solving, ensuring your project runs smoothly and our clients are satisfied.
A product’s success is ultimately measured on site.
For example, a pre-applied membrane eliminates substrate prep entirely, integrating naturally with the pour sequence, provides early-stage resilience and is a reliable solution. What’s more, they contribute to cost certainty, programme certainty and long-term performance.
Through the Prem360 process, Premcrete supports projects from concept design and detailed waterproofing strategies through to site training, quality control via Premtrac, and final delivery, backed by a 25-year single-source warranty.
When a Premcrete system arrives on site, it delivers measurable benefits:
At Premcrete, we offer our customers several products and systems that are designed for faster installation, reduced labour, and quicker project turnaround throughout the construction industry.
Traditional practices can result in waste and unpredictable expenses.
For example, our VOID-TEK solution is designed to resist damage underfoot, so that we can significantly reduce waste and subsequently enhance project efficiency, as well as achieve real cost savings in waste management.
Longevity and integrity are non-negotiables when it comes to effective waterproofing solutions.
That’s why our specialist concrete products and pre-applied membrane systems are engineered for long-term performance over the building’s lifespan. For instance, our liquid-applied waterproofing membranes are considered a superior choice when it comes to unparalleled durability and flexibility.
From concept to certified system, innovation at Premcrete is intentional, structured and collaborative. Guided by our core values of Integrity, Passion and Innovation, we combine customer insight, rigorous testing, and UK-based manufacturing to deliver solutions that meet the demands of modern construction.
Whether we’re developing a new specialist concrete product or an advanced pre-applied membrane system, our goal is always the same:
to help you build faster, safer, and with total confidence.
