Tremco Powers Major Student Accommodation Renovation in East London
Hallsville Quarter, Canning Town – A Residential Development Built on Performance

The Project

As part of the ongoing regeneration of Hallsville Quarter in Canning Town, East London, this large-scale residential development—led by Bouygues UK—is revitalising a key urban area. A major aspect of this phase included the renovation and fit-out of more than 8,000m² of new student accommodation, along with an additional 500m² of specialist flooring in high-demand plant and tanking areas.

With the need for durable, high-performance materials across a range of environments, Tremco was chosen to supply a fully compatible flooring system that delivered:

  • Speed of installation
  • Long-term durability
  • Advanced moisture protection

Supplied by Likewise London and installed by Flooring Co Ltd, the Tremco system was selected for its proven performance on complex, fast-paced construction projects.

Tailored Tremco System – Applied with Precision

To meet the varying demands of each environment, Flooring Co Ltd installed a comprehensive Tremco flooring solution:

 - ES600 Moisture Vapour Suppressant

Applied across all subfloors to guard against residual moisture and ensure maximum adhesion throughout the system.

- SX302 MT Smoothing Compound – Newly Formulated for Performance

Used extensively in the student apartments, SX302 MT provided excellent flow characteristics, high compressive strength, and a fast-setting formula—ideal for large, high-spec spaces with tight timelines.

“The SX302 gave us a smooth, level base quickly – exactly what was needed on such a fast-moving project,”
Marc Savill, Contracts Manager, Flooring Co Ltd

 SX100 Waterproof Tanking Compound

Installed in plant and tanking areas to offer robust, long-term protection in moisture-sensitive zones.

 SF41 Resin Floor Paint Flowcrete (Goosewing Grey)

-Used as a topcoat in plant areas to create a durable, chemical-resistant surface with a clean, professional finish.
