The work / Top Torch Waterproofing
Turning an owner-operated trade business into a distinctive brand, then carrying the same idea through to its website.

The commercial question
Top Torch’s owners brought deep experience and a hands-on approach to waterproofing. GRPL built the brand around that character: the people doing the work, the tools they use and the pride behind the finish. The creative direction took its cues from heritage workwear and made the trade itself central to the identity.
