Belzona Facts
The use of Belzona products was requested by the council in order to give a fast, long life, cost effective repair. The ability to bond and build up old concrete meant that the steps did not have to be completely removed and rebuilt. This ensured that the toilets would comply to the DDA standards. These heavily used toilets were quickly reopened to the public.
