Expert 3rd Party Flat Roof Membrane Integrity Testing

We are your go-to team for comprehensive third-party Flat Roof Membrane integrity testing, adhering to LABC, Premier Guarantee, and NHBC standards. Whether dealing with new constructions or existing buildings, we ensure compliance with British Standards 6229: 2018 and NHBC Chapter 7.1 guidelines.

NHBC Chapter 7.1.9 emphasises the need for visual and electronic waterproof integrity testing of roofing membranes before additional layers are applied. Our rigorous inspection process identifies and addresses faults, ensuring robust waterproofing.

Premier Guarantee’s section 7.11.15.2 also requires third-party integrity testing for green roofs before any other components are added, underscoring the importance of independent verification.

Our thorough roof surveys include detailed inspections of roof penetrations, terminations, equipment mounts, membrane conditions, perimeter flashing, and parapet wall coping. We focus on identifying any issues that could affect your building’s watertightness.

While vacuum testing is a useful quality assessment for off-site manufactured membrane seams, it is not recommended for flat roof integrity testing.

We offer tailored services to meet your unique project requirements and provide complete Health and Safety Plans, Risk Assessments, and Method Statements, resulting in a comprehensive O&M Manual upon completion.

Flat Roof Leak Detection Frequently Asked Questions

Why do waterproofing membranes fail?

Waterproofing membranes usually fail due to poor Waterproofing Application Technique. The application of waterproofing membranes is labor-intensive that requires skilled applicators. If the material is not applied correctly, it may not form a proper seal or may not bond adequately to the surface. Additionally, applying too little or too much material can result in an uneven surface or coverage that may compromise the integrity of the waterproofing. Most failed waterproofing installation is due to poor workmanship – which accounts for 90% of waterproofing membrane's failure. However,

Are Flat Roof leak detection companies worth it?

When it comes to determining if a flat roof leak detection company is worth it, there is an upfront cost to hiring them, but it's important to consider the potential savings in the long run. Unaddressed leaks can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues that can be far more expensive to repair.

Do green roofs need maintenance?

For most extensive green roofs, two to three maintenance visits per year are advised. You'll need to check the structural integrity of the roof, drainage systems, irrigation systems and, of course, the health and vitality of the vegetative layer.

What is a flat roof integrity test?

Flat roof integrity testing refers to the process of assessing the structural soundness and performance of flat roofs. This testing is crucial to ensure that the roof can withstand various weather conditions and effectively protect the building beneath it.

How does electronic roof leak detection work?

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) is a portable quality control testing procedure designed to locate discontinuities (breaches, holes, seam voids) in waterproofing and roofing membranes. ELD determines the location of the breaches by applying an electrical current to the surface of the exposed membrane.
