Services
Installation Auditing
Our on-site quality inspections ensure correct installation of building fabric components. We verify compliance with manufacturer specifications and construction details through scheduled audits. Our trained inspectors identify deficiencies in cladding, roofing, and faade systems, providing photographic evidence and corrective action recommendations.
Cladding Inspections
We conduct comprehensive cladding system evaluations from timber to composite materials. Our inspections verify structural load transfer compliance and weatherproofing performance. Using industry standards, we check substructure framework installation and thermal barrier integrity across commercial and public sector buildings.
Electronic Leak Detection
Our non-destructive roof membrane testing identifies moisture ingress points using calibrated equipment. We perform both wet and dry testing methods on common UK roofing membranes. Technicians trained by equipment manufacturers deliver accurate defect mapping with photographic documentation of problematic areas.
Roof Maintenance
We provide proactive roof management through scheduled maintenance contracts. Our services include gutter clearance, condition reporting, and high-level access using MEWPs and rope access. Annual contracts incorporate photographic records to track roof system performance and guarantee compliance with warranty requirements.
Drone Surveys
CAA-approved drone operations enable safe inspections of hard-to-reach areas. Our pilots capture high-resolution imagery for building defect analysis and roof condition assessments. This technology provides cost-effective surveys of large areas while maintaining safety standards for fragile asbestos cement roofs.
