Services
Roof Surveys
Our comprehensive roof surveys identify structural integrity issues and potential leaks through visual inspections and advanced diagnostic tools. Clients receive detailed photographic documentation and technical drawings highlighting breaches in waterproofing systems. This enables targeted repairs that restore roof functionality while optimising maintenance budgets for industrial and commercial properties.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Using FLIR P640 thermal imaging technology, we detect moisture ingress in flat roofs through temperature differentials. This non-invasive method identifies saturated insulation and entrapped water, allowing predictive maintenance before structural damage occurs. The high-resolution imaging provides clear visual evidence to support repair planning and budget allocation for building owners.
Membrane Condition Surveys
Specialised electronic leak detection methods assess flat roof membrane integrity through holiday detector and earth leakage tests. Our technicians perform these assessments in both dry and wet conditions, identifying breaches in single-ply, bituminous, and liquid-applied membranes. Results enable precise remediation of waterproofing systems while maintaining operational continuity.
Moisture Mapping
Non-destructive impedance scanning evaluates moisture content in roofing substrates using DEC scanners. This technique identifies hidden water accumulation behind cladding and within insulation layers, preventing long-term structural decay. Early detection through systematic area mapping helps maintain thermal efficiency and extends roof system lifespan.
Roof Maintenance Programmes
Customised maintenance schedules combine quarterly inspections with electronic testing to maximise roof longevity. Services include debris removal, gutter clearance, and rainwater outlet maintenance alongside diagnostic leak testing. These programmes reduce emergency repair costs by addressing issues proactively through documented condition assessments and targeted interventions.
Questions
What types of roofs can you survey?
We specialise in flat and low-pitched industrial/commercial roofs including metal, tiled, single-ply membranes, bituminous systems, and liquid-applied waterproofing.
How does electronic leak detection work?
Our holiday detector tests use electrical conductivity to identify breaches in waterproofing membranes, while earth leakage detection operates in wet conditions to pinpoint water ingress points.
Do you provide nationwide coverage?
Yes, our independent survey teams operate across the UK with centrally coordinated quality control through our dedicated training centre in Manchester.
Can surveys be conducted on installed roofs?
Yes, we perform moisture mapping and leak detection on existing systems, including during ongoing maintenance or prior to reparation work.
What documentation do you provide?
Clients receive detailed photographic reports with technical drawings showing breach locations, condition assessments, and recommended remedial actions for all survey types.
